So today pretty much rocked. except for work which was kinda lame.
So today after work was EPIC!
Went to the dealership, signed a million papers,
and got to drive away in my brand new 2012 Jeep Patriot.
took it home so dad and trish could see it, we went to grandmas and took some pics for her scrapbook. i dropped them off at home and then went to applebees where i met up with Elyse, Briston, Stefanie and Sara. Briston just got off his
mission.
Then went to walmart with Briston and Elyse, and bought an AUX cable,
Then went to get
doughnuts at VooDoo cuz briston has never been,
Then as we were getting onto the freeway from 7th at the jefferson bridge this small truck cuts in front of me to get onto the onramp. i honk my horn and attempt to speed up, but for some reason was in 3rd gear and could not. good thing too, cuz the guy, as he was about to enter traffic, has his back end come out from him, and hits almost directly in his front.cuts awkwardly across the lanes of traffic and comes to a stop on the left median, i pull over, get out the car, and run over to make sure he's okay, so do at least 3 other cars. he puts his thumbs up, obviously in shock, but super pissed, and i lean on his hood and ask again, are you sure you are okay,, i see something in his eyes tellling me to just back off and let him be. so i speak to one of the other guys that stopped and he had a thick accent saying is he okay, so i spoke to him in spanish telling him he said he's okay, but that he appears drunk and that i was going to call 911. then he tries to get out his passenger side, opening up the door to traffic, so i turn away, not wanting to deal with what could have been a super angry drunk. i got back to my car, tried 911 but they have some sort of automated answer, and it said that if it was an emergency, to press one, or say something, but it wasnt an emergency so i hung up and Elyse got me the number for the non-emergency line, and i was connected without having to be put on hold this time YAY! and so i explained the crash, told the lady that he was out of his car and was checking out the damage but that i was worried about him cuz he appeared intoxicated. he then gets back in his car, turns it on, which i didnt think it would turn on cuz i thought he may have already tried it, and he starts to head down the freeway, i hand the phone to Elyse, and engage in pursuit :)
we
follow him to the delta exit, to the beltline north exit, to the
division ave exit, under the bridge near the river. and then we finally
start to see cops, they are on the freeway though with lights on. and
then he goes from river ave to silver lane, to grove when the cops
finally catch up and i let them continue to follow. but he got lost. :(
so
we head back toward walmart to drop briston off at his truck. and then
Elyse and i head to applebees to get her in her car. and while we were
driving the officer that was in the area in pursuit called my cell and
started asking questions about the accident, the pursuit, the car, the
damage etc. and eventually said that he thinks he found the house.
So yeah. Thats how my first 50 miles were spent in my new car. :D
