First the Trailair Centerpoint...never knew how good it actually worked until this morning. Left a Goodsam Rally in Marion, NC...got about 30 miles down I-40, when the lightbulb in my brain went off...LEFT MY FULL PAPER CUP OF COFFEE ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER!!
Pulled over as soon as we found a wide shoulder...went back expecting to find a BIG mess...there sat the 3/4 full coffee cup, exactly where I left it and not one drop spilled... Made my morning!!
Now the truck...really glad I remembered the coffee when I did, because awhile later, while going thru Knoxville, a car two spaces in front of me blew a tire. He slammed on his brakes and headed for the right shoulder while his hubcap headed across 4 lanes of traffic for the left shoulder! Everybody else started slamming on their brakes in front of me...I looked in the rearview, there was a car between me and DH who was towing the Bighorn...what do I see? This yahoo behind me almost completely stop in the middle of I-40 and DH have to stand on the brakes of the C4500...that's 28,000lbs trying to stop on a dime...he managed to swing into the right lane (lucky no one was there) and missed the car by literally INCHES!!!
Needless to say I had to do some laundry when we set down for night..LOL!! Not really, he did say though he was glad we didn't have the '98 Dodge 1-ton we used to own...it would have never been able to hold back the rig like the "Beast" did...that truck just paid for itself...:angel:
Safe Travels!! Pay attention out there...
