Well, Myrtle beach was awesome. Lots of stuff to do down there. Me and my girlfriend had a blast...
Lemme explain the ride home...
We had a rental car since I didnt have enough time to get a goat, we got a 2006 Mazda6. The car was amazing. Great handling, decent power too. Definately a good car. So on the way back, we were on I-95 in VA by Fredricksberg... when there is an 8 car pile-up a few miles ahead. So it was pretty much stop and go traffic, but more go then stop... I was coasting about 30 miles an hour, my girlfriend was in the passenger seat sleeping when all of the sudden I hear a "thump" behind us. My girlfriend immediately woke up, I look behind me, and some ******* slammed into us.... and when i looked in the back i already saw the car was totalled cuz the trunk was pretty much folded beyond proportion... I got out and inspected the damage and it was pretty much toast. The guy was very apologedic (if that is a word) always saying sorry. He was driving a stepside 98 GMC. He had NO damage at all, not even a scratch. Cop came about 20 minutes later, and immediately told me he was writing him up for wreckless driving AND tailgating. Very nice cop. So for 5 hours we were unloading and reloading all of our huge amounts of luggage out of the Mazda, into a rest area, then from the rest area into a taxi, then drive 45 miles in traffic to the Reagen Airport in DC, and into another rental they gave us, which was the G6. What would have been a 9 hour drive ended up to be a 16 hour drive.
So yea, crappy ride home, but everyone was alright. Ill post up some pictures of the damage later when I get ahold of my camera since Im still kinda unpacking. But when I say I heard a "thump", thats a very good thing, cuz for the damage the car got, I didnt get jerked around or anything. My girlfriend was a little shooken up, cuz, thats NOT a very good way to be woken up from a nap.
