My friends, Sam and Brodi talk about I-80 being the "bobsled horror show." Read their blog, it is very funny. You can link on to it from Renan's website. Here is a small portion of it....
"I just close my eyes while I drive that 5 mile stretch, crying and screaming and praying to just make it through. Rocks pelting the windows, dodging 57 ton Semi trucks, 16 year old boys texting as they drive, and others just swerving all over the road. When you are trying to keep up with the flow of traffic and hitting speeds of 55 miles an hour and you have about 2 inches of clearance on both sides of your lane, it gets your heart pounding."
In response to their blog........ You haven't experienced true horror until you have driven I-80 with Renan at the wheel. 55 is nothing!!!!!! nothing I tell you, when the norm for Renan is 80. I have no idea why our family is still alive. I am constantly trying to put on the imaginary brake on the passengers side, while Renan is rolling his eyes at me. When we finally arrive at our destination, I have to mentally tell all the muscles in my body to relax, then I reach over in my purse and pull out the meds that I wished I had taken before that awful experience. You may think I am exaggerating , but truly I am not. This is not for the wimps of the world, you have to be hard core to drive with Renan.

Man, I can't compare with the fearless Renan. I probably haven't noticed him on the same stretch of freeway, laughing at me, pointing at me and mocking me as I cower in fear behind the steering wheel. Maybe I will just take other ways to get home--side streets reserved for us wimps.
I've driven on the freeway behind Renan and believe me he thinks his truck is a motorcycle or maybe a day at Lagoon on the dodgems. If you never went on that ride.....you just drive and try to crash into people. Go Renan!!!!!!
