Today after work, I was gonna meet Rebecca @ the mall for dinner. Well, I figured to myself, itd be so much faster to go the highway then to go back all the way to Hampstead. Now, I had never ever done the highway before, and I was supposed to go with someone first, but I figured why not? Meaaaaangya! Ok, I was supposed to take 495 South, but me and directions dont go together so I figured it should be 495 North seeing as how Salem is North or Haverhill, Ma. Oh God. What a mistake!! I saw all these signs for Amesbury, Salisbury, etc. So I get off about about 15 min. and go onto... 95? I think. Good God. Signs for Boston, Ipswich, Peabody!! The mall is like, 15 minutes away! I get off that again and Im in Georgetown. Then Groveland. Then Haverhill. Finally, I make it onto 495 SOUTH. Meangya, by the time I even got to Salem, it was almost 6 (we were supposed to meet @ 445 lol) so I just decided to screw it and go home. A 15-20 min. trip on the highway turned into an hour and a half ride all around the world. Ugh. So when I got home I noticed Rebs called. She couldnt go there-- she had locked her keys in the car by accident. :bonk: On the plus side, I did get to hear Clay Aiken on the way home.:)

So.. anyone have any driving horror stories?

yeah, I got one: we were going to Ruby falls tenessee, it was raining, and some woman driving a mustang lost control and slammed into the median, than spun across 3 lanes of heavy traffic. We stopped to see if she was alright, and she was. It really scared us because the women had two young kids in the car.

Except for my mother and I almost getting killed a few times on I-91, no horror stories :)

meangya that sucks. atleast she didnt end up eating dinner alone.

I ws driving to Ford Field one night with my friend because we bored and had nothing better to do. I got there just fine but stupid me missed 696 on the way home so we're just traveling down I-75 waiting for any street signs that sound familiar. I got off of a couple of exits and then swerved back on to 75 when they were dark roads and I had no idea where I was. The finally I got off at Big Beaver because I knew it was a mile road. Thank God for the mile roads we have here in MI, they help me so much, especially when I'm lost.

I lied. I just thought of one. My grandma should seriously be considered legally deaf and blind, but they let her drive anyway. :rolleyes: Anyway....she pulled up to the train tracks and she's like "Oh, there's a train coming." and sits on the tracks....like it's normal! I had to scream, or we would have died.
