DAY 1 Road Trip: Greenfield, Indiana




So I have started my trek to the Garden State and about 20 miles outside of Indianapolis, a fellow motorist pulls along side me, rolls the window down and from a scene eerily similar to that of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, yells out the window, "HEY!, Your tire is smoking!!!" So naturally, I pulled over in disbelief and of course I see a black cloud of smoke coming from the underbelly of the car. Being stuck on the highway for what seemed like a life time, Rod, the Tow Truck Driver, came out and helped me out. He was a great help and he made a few jokes to lighten the mood. The Durango was towed to Moore's Auto Shop to be repaired in the morning. At least the glorious Hampton Inn was nice enough to give me a discount on the room after hearing my sob story and seeing my dejected face. I guess we'll see what happens next!
To Be continued....

P.S. Saw this in parked in the lobby of The Hampton Inn...sidecars are awesome! I should've just asked for a ride in that thing!
