I don&#8217;t think he was following me specifically, he just happened to be behind me in a bit of traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, as we approached the Meijer at M-59 and Hayes, a Ford Explorer came flying over the top of one of the 8&#8242; grass berms, airborne, straight at the road. It bounced a couple of times in the easement, turned sharply across the grass just avoiding the road, then took off back into the Meijer parking lot. The police offer understandably headed right into the lot behind them.<\/p>\n<p>We drove around, then back into the Meijer parking lot to see if the person was being detained, but the police officer and the Explorer were gone. I imagine the police followed them out of the lot or something before pulling them over.<\/p>\n<p>While still in the parking lot, after taking the opportunity to once again remove the piles of ice in the wheel well, we had to leave via a carefully chosen entrance. It had to be one plenty far away from the other individuals still in the who were driving full size pickups across the lot at high speeds, then sliding them sideways or backwards for 100&#8242; or so. I was hoping to see of them hit a light pole, a sign, or maybe even a curb sideways and break a wheel or tie rod or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight when Danielle and I were driving back from my parents&#8217; house while heading west down M-59 towards my house, I just so happened to&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/03\/22\/weird-drivers\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Weird Drivers&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-automotive","category-moved-from-livejournal","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9295"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12334,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9295\/revisions\/12334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
