However the potholes will probably make you cry.

Your Porch Boxer is ready.

It’s a little hard to tell what got the driver into this situation, so try to withhold judgement

RETORT: If your job is to police automobiles, you SHOULD know the difference between them.

“Now, it’s possible this officer isn’t into automobiles, but how in the ever living hell can you mistake those two vehicles!?”
Not to mention vehicles have number plates for a f’ing reason - you’d think the police would know that.

It’s not as though the R/T driver was completely innocent or “got drug into this”. Passing on the shoulder is seriously dumb. Let’s not lose sight of that just because there was an even dumber person in a similar car in the same area at the same time.

we sell these in our pilot shop:

Glider pilots have also used these and similar products ever since they invented long-distance gliding events. So yes, commercially available items are readily available.

I suspect you are correct about that. The pic is right at 1300hrs which is good timing for one of the Janet flights to be in the air. They are flying in and out constantly, my boss and I like to have lunch at a place that is under the pattern at McCarran and its not uncommon to see two or three of the 737s come over.…

Just one request: please give us a photo of you pressing up against the back of a particularly alluring vehicle with a silly look on your face. It’s sort of a tradition to remember our EICs around here.

Went from Richmond, Virginia to Biloxi, Mississippi to San Angelo, Texas last summer. I-85 and I-10 made me want to die.

Stationed at DM and drove to Keesler for a school? Just guessing; I'm a Gulfport Navy guy but trained at Keesler for Tech School. That drive sounds like an absolute nightmare; tip of the hat to you.

Meh, before we had AC we drove across Texas in the summer (Tucson to New Jersey) every year. And slept in the back of the truck. A simple spray bottle filled with water is amazing when doing this - evaporative cooling at its most basic.

I’ve done the I-10 to I-20 to I-30 route (El Paso to Texarkana) many, many, many times and it is just as bad, and just as long. I can’t imagine 3000 straight miles of Siberia.

Also includes the Canadian prairies because boredom is fun!

I’ll just stick to the 6 hour flight between New York and London instead of the month long trip the other way.

We have a winner!

I-10 is the short cut from El Paso. You want some real fun take I-10 from El Paso to I-20 up through Tyler and Longview to Shreveport, LA. 800 miles of hell, especially in the summer.

I can only imagine that Nome to Moscow would be enough to make anyone want to commit suicide. A quick google search says it's about 4,000 miles. So multiply El Paso to New Orleans by about 4.
