…you are driving down the Interstate with duct tape and plastic sheeting covering one of your car windows.
We had traveled about half an hour on the donut to the town of Gillette, Wyoming where the AAA guy had told us there was a tire place where we could replace oyr blown tire.
But we had a second problem. When the tire blew and we vibrated to a stop the back left window fell off its track and would no longer stay up.
The tire place only did tires, and by the time the tire was going to be done places we called would only say they MIGHT be able to look at it the next day. Brandy did NOT want to spend a couple days in Gillette waiting for the car like we had spent a couple days in Clarksville. So that was eliminated as an option.
Instead Brandy found a K-Mart, bought the needed supplies and bandaged up the window. By about 00:20 UTC on the 18th we were back on the road.
Yes, well, if it’s any consolation, I did it in a BMW X5 that had two windows so dressed, one having lost its track, the other due to a failed regulator.
It is a great consolation. Thank you.
