Yeah i had something of a close call last night. I was finishing up my eye exam and my feind calls me saying his rear axle blew up. So I finished up right quick and went to go meet him to wait with him untill the tow truck got there. So first thing i do is put my 4-ways on and pulled over and stopped about 20 feet behind his truck and about 2 feet in off the white line on the sholder. And got out and waited. so as the hour or so we were there progressed and at various times i was thinking how this could turn ugly. my car could have been clipped sending it into us standing beside the truck, the truck it self could have been clipped and smashed us imbeetween the guard rails and the truck. and we had one more car that came later. it was like a little roadside party, all we needed were some beers and women. All in all it was a relif when we left.
