Blood and oil.

What is a road trip without blood and car troubles?

Yes, the 12 hour trip to Calgary was a raving success. We managed to shock the daylights out of one of the love's of my life (my sister Maura), eat too many Krispy Kreme's, visit Pete's Drive in, cut my elbow and bruise my back, and hit a MASSIVE 1 ft by .5ft rock going 120 km/hr. Oil leakage ensued. I promised Tessa I'd help pay, cause not only was the whole trip my initiative, but I was driving when the rock *appeared* dead centre in the middle of the road.

That said, it clicked her bumper into a near-flush position.

It may all cost money, but you get memories in return.
