On the way home from work, I pulled a stuck car that ran off the road, taking out a sign, through a ditch and into a field just off the highway in the poring rain last night. To be exact, two hot chicks on their way to Houston from Austin!! I guess they lost controll...the road came to a "T" and there are no street lights or flashy yellow signal light. After all the mud slingin and me sliding all over the place, I finally got them on solid road...lets just say they will need to wash their car later! lol
