I managed to avoid broadsiding him by slamming on the breaks and turning in to the curb, which immediately tore my right front tire in to about 10 pieces. The pickup, of course, gunned it and sped away.

/sigh

I managed to limp the car home in stages, getting out frequently to make sure the remains of the tire were staying between the rim and the pavement. Finally got to my garage, with the smell of burnt rubber filling the air, and parked it in its place. At this time of night, no service station within 15 miles is open doing tire service, and I couldn't afford it anyway - not right before this trip. Guess I'm taking taxi and bus to the airport tommorrow instead of driving!

On the plus side, I guess, nobody got hurt, and I'm still going to see Lili on Monday, but oi! I feel like I should be pretty pissed off, but somehow, I just can't stay angry given the coolness that's coming up. I don't think it'll really sink in until I get back and have to deal with it. For now, it just stays in the garage.

Tommorrow... the plane.

Glad to hear ur ok... can't wait to see the pictures u guys are going to post...

Cooney, good to hear you walked away unharmed, except for the car damage of course. Well you also wont have the headache of trying to find a parking spot at the airport. Have a great trip, bring back lots of pics

Damn Cooney, when I started reading your story I was scared you were going to say you can't come. Not that what happened doesn't sound rotten (good luck with it of course), but that's the main thing! Safe travels and see you soon.

Alright guys, I'm officially on my way. See all you Wednesday, give or take (and a few of you a good deal sooner). Safe travels, all.

Enjoy yourself, man and safe trip. My Dad is crossing the Atlantic in the opposite direction as we speak (or type).

Good Luck to everyone!
