A man leaving a convenience store got the ride of his life yesterday when his wheelchair latched onto a semi trailer's grille. Not the grill the Paul Wall generally raps about, but part of an actual vehicle. Unbeknownst to the driver, he put his rig in gear and headed on down the road, reaching a speed of 50 mph until he reached his destination. Normally, people traveling in semi's are sent by Large Marge, but in unusual circumstances an occasional wheelchair will do. I'm guessing that if this guy had spinners on his wheelchair, they'd still be spinning.
"It was quite a ride," the man told police.
Honestly? You went down a road, in a wheelchair attached to the front of a semi, and you casually respond to the situation as it being "quite a ride"? This guy quite possibly has the biggest balls in America. Bugs slapping my face at such a high speed is convincing enough to have me say that the experience sucked, but traveling 50 mph in a wheelchair with no seatbelt is taking it to another level. That's enough to make uncontrollable accidents happen, in my pants.
It is sad, however, that his drink spilled throughout the process. Then again, it's the only evidence available that suggests this guy is not Superman.
