Well, it happened today. Cordele, Ga one Crossroad from I-75. I was running lil bit about 65 and I noticed this SUV crossing the 4-lane with Median. I thought nothing of it until, this SUV moves on to cross the road. I had no time to stop, if I had, I would have T-Boned this pretty little lady and made both of us have a REALLY bad day. So, I gunned her and with the pick-up of a Wrangler in 5th I nearly made it by swerving off to the righ-hand side nearly clipping a stop sign. This is when all hell broke loose.
She managed to clip my rear wheel and flung me into a slide on dry concrete. I was saying to myself while in full skid, "Well, this is where Jeeps roll over and play dead. Fortunantly, she regained traction on the concrete and had me pointing at the median. 50+ mph I hit this narrow median that was a shallow ditch. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!!! I launched Lil'bit into 2 lanes of traffic + the turn lane. According to Witnesses and skid marks I cleared 2.8 lanes and went head long into the far ditch.
Well Fortunantly, there had been a good amount of rain so this ditch was pretty wet. The skid and the mud flying sent me straight down the ditch into a sign, get this, the sign said WRONG WAY. I thought that was pretty funny to say the least. Well, I clipped this sign and the "Ugly Mutha Bumper barely took a scratch. I took the sign into the Grille and hood witch let a good dent then the Sigh part Smashed my Windshield then proceeded under the Jeep and into my Driver side (Lack of door).
The sign pierced my Roll bar covers about 3 inches from my head (Thank you God) and then came into the Driver seat with me. I recieved a couple scratches and a LARG bruise to my upper left arm. This sign even put a gaping hole in my shirt and lightly scratched my belly. JUST what I needed, Sitting 2 hours from home or my parents and being impaled on a "WRONG WAY" sign.
Lil'bit Stood her ground, she never even felt like she wanted to roll on me. Well, if you all remember my dumptruck incedent a few months back, I have to replace ALL the same parts and possibly need a full paint-job but we all know I will not use that money for a paint job :-D maybe soem Krylon.
Either way, The past few years I have started to question the life I have and the reasons why? I have questioned God on countless occasions and always felt justified in doing so. Today, God showed me just how much he looks after me and even in my weakness, he saw fit to place his hand in my life and let me live another day. And the most Ironic part of the Whole thing? It was a Preacher's Daughter that clipped me, and her Dad (The preacher) is the one that came to see if I was OK. How else can I say that God had a hand in saving me. Plus the Daughter was a gorgeous little thing and I saw no rings. God has let women I have loved get taken from me horribly, maybe he wanted another to finally come into my life with some intensity and let us live our lives and die quietly for a change.
Lil'bit made the drive to Atlanta without many problems. Her whole rearend is shot and bouncing the Rim that was replaced because of the Dumptruck is warpped AGAIN. and so is the Rear Axle. The Troopers, Firemen, and EMS enjoyed the show though as Lil'bit, sunk in 6" of black mud, happily went into 4-hi and made some rooster tails to drive herself out of that ditch.
