This Day Has Been One Big S#!t-fest

So, for those of you who havent seen the accident i got in earlier today:

https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/super-bowl-hi-def-128500/

That happened to me around 3pm today.

Then, at 10pm tonight, this happens:



Yep. Just a warning, fortunately. I was going about 65/70mph in a 30mph zone coming down a backroad on my way home tonight when my detector all of a sudden went crazy on the Ka band and I had plenty of time to slam on my brakes down to about 35mph when this cop came out of nowhere and put his lights on. He told me i was lucky i slowed down because he couldn't get a lock on me in time. Thank god for the radar detector or my ass would have been toast. $270 ticket and 3 points for me if i had gotten nabbed.


Just my luck that within a 7 hour period i would get hit in an accident and pulled over by a state trooper.

DAMMIT!
