Makes me think of a time I had a stupid ass moment when young. I was driving down the freeway, and I noticed a car behind me, tailgating me, was billowing smoke, like a lot of smoke. I was shaking my head at how stupid they were. Then they switched lanes, but the smoke didn't switch with them.
Lol! Did you make it to your destination?
Nope! That was the death of my first vehicle. She was a raggedy POS I had from 17 to 20, and I was stranded half way through a 200 mile trip. I think it a blew a head gasket, dumped all my oil, and fucked my pistons. By the time I limped to a place to get oil to salvage what I could, the engine was sounding pretty fucked. Don't fully recall. To the scrape it went, to young and broke to fix it.
My first car rotted out from under me (winter salt in the northeast).
