To get your recall fixed on your vehicle with the headlights. No,
not at all.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's not going to happen probably for another two years.
But I will say that I've had a leaky tire
for probably.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
A year, maybe a year and a half.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Okay, well, I mean it's like a slow leak. I
fill it up with air and it goes for another month.
So then I just keep doing that.

it and they patched it, so that was nice.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
The construction is so terrible. The contrafo lanes are so tiny.
People are still texting and driving through there.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I saw I was like, oh my god, this is
such a bad idea. That one section. I want to say.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's right past the twenty ninth Street exit where it
goes from three lanes to two, and.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
The lines are not you have to really pay attention.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
You just to pay attention to day in your lane
because the lines are like overlapping, and it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Wait, what what am I doing? Oh yeah, you better
stay in your lane. It's scary. It is scary.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, this happened yesterday while I was on the Interestate.
I had just passed the Merritt's Creek exit in Barber's Belle, Okay,
and I was going, going, going, and then I see
people are slowing down.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I'm like, okay, we're slowing up. We're slowing up.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's a little bit of traffic, a little okay, and
then there are people trying to get on the interstate.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So I'm basically at just past the.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Marriage Creek accents still kind of on the bridge there,
and people are trying to merge. That's fine, but I
see that we are pretty much stopped, and I'm like, oh,
what is this?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
What is happening?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Then I see a wssay is the update on my phone?
I sixty four East is shut down in the right
hand lane, dude to a double wide.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Trailer that is stuck in the construction zone. Oh no,
I just past the exit. Yes, and so you're stuck
by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well okay, so I thought that too, and I had
just passed the exit.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
So I was so matt plus I had to pee.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Plus my car is like on e March, the worst
possible sitry.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Everything's happening at once.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So I am I see obviously, and they even say, like,
you know, a good cruiser are trying to get to
the scene to see what they.

I have to get to NTB. I've got up pee.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
So I start looking around and that I told you,
I'm right beside this on ramp at Merritt's Creek where
people can get onto the interstate.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
So i'd look at behind me.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I do see people, Oh boy, turning around and going
off the on ramp.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So I thought to myself, I could.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Get arrested for this, I could get shop by a
police officer. But I could also be stuck on the interstate.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
For a couple hours. You'd be like, oh, I just
had to be done. So I did. Man.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I turned around. I was thankfully in a good position.
I was not stuck in between two barriers. I was
in a good position that I could just whip it around.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So I did. I whipped it around.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I start going down that hill on that on ramp.
I've never gone this way before in my life. I'm like,
oh my god, there's not even a light on our side,
right the traffic light.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
So I see a line of like ten cars and they.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
All kind of got over to the right hand side
to give up room, so it's not there and they're
not in the.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Middle, and I follow them. I was like, Yep, this
is how we're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And then I saw people trying to get on the state,
and I just kept giving him the note don't know it.
I even rolled down my windows like don't go that way,
don't know it.
