Okay, so the other day me and my fiancée had the day off so I decided to take her to San Diego on a date. Driving down the 15 sucks though, so I took some back roads to PCH then went down from there. It was a nice drive, pretty relaxing and the weather was gorgeous. Passed a group of Evo’s playing and actually had a couple guys in a bugeye WRX pass me running REALLY hard. Kind of made me happy to see some others out having a spirited drive since we were in her PT rather than the S13. All was good till a squirrel decided the nut he had just acquired wasn‘t enough motivation to come home to Mrs. Squirrel. Hitting animals of an size sucks, but even more so when your fiancée who loves anything even remotely cute and/or cuddly, is right there with you. So yeah, that kind of killed the mood for the next couple of miles. Luckily she’s a forgiving girl who knew there was nothing I could do and the drive was far from over. This wasn’t my only animal encounter as many late night jaunts in the hills have been interrupted by shadowed creatures with glowing eyes skimming across the asphalt. But it’s not always an animal that tends to ruin the drive… sometimes you’ll come around a turn to find a fallen tree branch or rocks, or worse… a nimrod n00b on the on the wrong side of the DY. So we all go out on drives that are meant to relax us and remind us of why we’ve spent so much time/money/effort on our cars in the first place… but what have you come across in your ‘excursions’ that ruined it?
