Default TOUGH disco

I was driving along interstate 20 yesterday at 75 and saw a green Disco pass me. About a minute later, with a car between us, I saw the Disco shoot off the highway to the right at about 30 degrees from the highway, down a hill tip worthy Hill, jump 3/4ths of the service road, continue down another Hill, and come to a stop in a ravine. He was doing 75 mph for most of that trip and was wise enough to steer straight as he shot sideways down the first Hill. Brakes on the entire way, but antilocks working as they should.

I slowed in my Disco, took the next exit, and drove the wrong way on the service road to see if he needed help. He passed me going the right way, throwing mud 30 feet high. I am sure he needed to change his pants.

No idea what happened to make him dart off the road, but his Disco looked unharmed.

Tough truck.

He must have had those new BF Goodrich tires.

It was pretty amazing. He traveled maybe 600 feet, at least 30 of it in the air. Um, I bet he needed some new shocks when he was done. At least.

Sounds like he had a jato up his tail

or maybe he'd just pulled a bullion heist and in a hurry

Too much bullion in the cargo area makes my Disco squat. It is a real bummer.
