I was heading home from the Detroit casinos. As I was passing Dearborn, I saw an SUV flipped over on the freeway on the eastbound side of I-94. That had traffic backed up. Anyways, that was interesting but not as interesting as what I was about to see.

As I got up to I-275, I noticed this person in a Dodge Ram hugging the side of the road, occasionally going off. So I was gonna try and blow by him. All off the sudden he swerves over 2 lanes and nearly runs me off the side of the road. So I hit the brakes and decide to stay in this guy's six because he was either drunk or something else. Then I see him start tailgating this other car. I mean, he couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 feet from the guy's back bumper. He kept this up for a good 3 or 4 miles until they both got off at the exit.

So I continue driving and I wish I brought my cell along. So I get to my home exit and decide to stop at the State Police post to report the guy (not that they could really do anything but you never know). Anyways...wow.

Driving in Michigan I've learned can be a "contact sport" at times. ;)

I'm guessing that's why I was paying $139 a MONTH for a old shitty '94 Astro for just basic liability. Yeah you WILL pay the price for wearing those white-and-blue plates! :eek:
