SO I TOOK MY 67 GTX FOR A RIDE AFTER WORK DOWN TO THE BEACH FOR A FEW HOURS, CHECK OUT THE CHICKS, RELAX AFTER A HARD DAYS WORK YADA , YADA , YADA... ITS ABOUT 6:30 FIGURE I'LL START HEADING HOME .SO I MUST CROSS TWO BODIES OF WATER, THE ONE BRIDGE IS ABOUT A 1/4 MILE LONG A MILE LATER THE SECOND ONE THE ROBERT MOSES CROSWAY ABOUT A 3 MILE DRIVE OVER THE WATER, 3 LANE NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER, TRAFFIC MOVING ABOUT 80 MPH.
SO I'M MOVING ALONG ABOUT A 1/2 MILE FROM THE BRIDGE WHEN OUT OF NO WARE SHE STARTS TO SPUTTER MY NOSE DETECTS THE ACIDIC SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ,I GLANCE AT MY AMP METER THE NEEDLE IS SWINGING ERRATICALLY BACK AND FORTH THEM THE SOUND OF SILENCE .O **** I PUT HER IN NEUTRAL TRIED TO START HER ,NOTHING, PUT MY FLASHERS ON NOTHING !!! !!MAYBE I COULD COAST TO THE CREST OF THE BRIDGE AND COAST DOWN THE OTHER SIDE AND PULL OF THE ROAD .
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I CAME TO A STOP A HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE BRIDGE. CARS FLYING BY 80+MPH I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR I WAS UP AGAINST A RAILING 100 FEET OVER THE WATER TWICE I SEEN IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR CARS SWERVING AND SKIDDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SAID THIS IS IT I'M GOING TO GET SLAMMED IN THE REAR DESTROYING ME AND MY MINT 67 GTX
I CALLED 911 THEY PUT ME ON A CALL WAITING LIST "WE WILL ANSWER YOUR EMERGENCY IN THE ORDER IN WITCH IT IS RECEIVED !!!!" THIS IS A NIGHTMARE NO NOT HERE !!OF ALL PLACES TO BREAKDOWN , NO PLACE TO PULL OVER ITS ALMOST TWILIGHT, I HAVE NO LIGHT WHAT SO EVER!! I'M DOOMED !!!THIS IS IT I'M GONNA MAKE THE PAPERS.
THEN TO MY RELIEF A LITTLE IMPORT STOPPED BEHIND ME AND PUT HIS FLASHERS ON TO WORN APPROACHING TRAFFIC .HE CALLED A TOW TRUCK FOR ME AND STAYED WAVING TRAFFIC AWAY UNTIL A STATE TROOPER ARRIVED.
OF THE MANY CARS THAT FLEW BY ME AND NEARLY KILLED ME THIS ONE MAN STOPPED AND RISKED HIS LIFE TO HELP A FELLOW PERSON IN NEED I WAS TRULY IN DYER STRAIGHTS. MY CAR IS WHITE, THE ROAD IS CONCRETE TAN IN COLOR ITS ALMOST DARK AND I'M SITTING DEAD IN THE WATER SO TO SPEAK WITH NO LIGHTS AND NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR EVEN IF I WANTED TO WITH CARS FLYING BY TWO FEET FROM MY DOOR. O I FAILED TO MENTION MY DOG WAS WITH ME TO. SO $180 BUCKS FOR THE TOW ,TURNS OUT THE FUSIBLE LINK BLEW WHY I DO NOT NO KNOW. THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER I MEAN RED HOT WIRE BEGINS .
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME I BARE WITNESS TO A TRUE ACT OF HUMANITY AN UNSUNG HERO,THIS PERSON RISKED HIS LIFE TO PROTECT ME AND OTHERS I AM TRULY HUMBLED BY THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE .I WILL PAY IT FORWARD FOR SURE. SORRY FOR THE RANT
