A cop, a donut and one head light

A recounting of a trip home from school a couple of years ago. I was just thinking about it the other day and it made me laugh...
So road trips are fun, right??? Do do do, we're driving along from the big ABQ trying to escape to Texas, most preferably the Dallas area, when boom, 75 mph and some kind of crazy debris all over the road, we have a major blowout. What kind of shit is this, I ask. Oh, it's only the taxpayers money going to waste again and those lazy TxDOT assholes not keeping the roads free of danger, no biggie. We get out of the car to inspect. There's definately some damage so poor Erin changes the tire only for us to realize that we are in the middle of BFE nowhere and our only choice is to try and make it to Abilene for the night in hopes of finding a Honda dealership.That crazy metal shit all over the road ripped a large hole in not only my tire, but the rim as well, while causing other body damage that will require an insurance claim. So we're rolling along on the donut at a speedy pace of about 50 mph. We arrive in Abilene, retrieve some beer, I definately needed a beer, and are literally about to turn into the parking lot of the hotel when.......red and blue lights. Holy shitballs batman, somebody give me a freakin break! Roll down the window.....liscense and registration (I know we weren't speeding, we weren't even going the f'ing speedlimit)......ma'am, did you know your headlight is out (I really want to roll my eyes and bitch slap this guy about now).....WTF, ummmm, no sir I had no idea .....
I'm still not sure if this all really happened yesterday or if someone spiked my dr pepper at the Bueno. Anyway, whatever that little experiment was supposed to be it failed.......oh yeah, and it sucked great big green donkey balls, too.
