I was getting on 128 off 93N one morning, traffic was stop and go, some idiot was jamming on her brakes trying to get the guy behind to hit her. Not sure what started it, but when they hit a stop, they both got out of their cars and were yelling at each other, she came at him and the guy punches her in the face, knocked her down right in the road. She gets up takes a swing at him, he clocks her again, knocks her down. She gets up again, takes another swing, he punches her again and knocks her down. Traffic started moving again and everyone drove by with her lying in the road. They were both dressed very nicely, maybe early 30s. I bet she looked nice getting to work.
Just another morning on the 128 commute. --R Curt Raymond wrote: > I never commuted on 128, I've driven fast on it at 2am though... > Commuting on 128 is a lot like walking on 128... > > -Curt > > --- On Sat, 8/9/08, Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1980 240D advice > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 10:04 AM > > Did you read the Herald, shave, talk on the phone, and curse at other > drivers (all at the same time) while commuting on 128? > > --R > > Curt Raymond wrote: > >> And here I thought I was the lone dissenting voice. >> MA is a state known for agressive drivers and I drove my 240D for >> > something like 50,000 miles commuting 90 miles daily.
