[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 4195985, member: 45550"] That brings to mind the one and only time I was ever really afraid. Was towing a car with my F250 from So Cal to Bellingham, Washington and stopped to overnight in Portland. That night a snow storm hit the area so in the morning I unhitched the car and drove the surface streets to make sure all was well. They’d been plowed so I figured I was good to go. Got everything hooked back up, hopped on I5 to discover it hadn’t been touched. Bastards!!! 😡😡😡😡 I was so screwed…..if I accelerated the trailer jackknifed to the right, if I so much as touched the brakes it jackknifed left and if I tried moving the steering wheel all hell broke loose. Also every off-ramp was well sloped downward and I knew if I took one I’d end up flying through the intersection. Thank you Jesus, after 20 minutes of holding on for dear life waiting for the impending doom to strike I saw a little opening on the right shoulder that wasn’t too bad and was able to get it pulled over. After an hour or so they had things cleared on the freeway and I was good to go. Ugh, that was 30 years ago and thinking about it still gives me the willies. [/QUOTE]
