...i am driving down the freeway as i come to the merging of another on ramp to my right. i see jacob to my left driving slow as usual. the car to my right pushes me into jacob though we never touch cars. somehow my car disappears and im now in jacobs car in the passenger seat. he is driving badly becuase he is getting sick. he leans over lookin like he will barf in my lap i tell him if you are gonna hurl do it on yourself while i push his face back to the drivers side. he is swerving all over our lane. so i hold his face and the wheel and yell for him to pull over and stop. he doesnt listen to me. now he looks like he is passing out. somehow though he finally hears me and pulls over and stops.
he gets out of the car and hurls at the side of the road. somehow i am now in the backseat with the passenger door open. this guy with tattered clothes and tattoos comes to the car wanting a ride. he tries to just get in the car. i tell him to get out and lean over the seat to poke him in the side with a rolled up piece of paper to make him get out. he does get out but grabs a few things from the car as he leaves. i get out of the car as he is walking up the hill of the freeway. i yell to him that i saw what he took and i will let him keep it.
a few seconds later the guy says something that makes me rethink my generosity. i turn back toward him and ask him to give it back. he refuses so i proceed to take it from him by force. we scuffle a bit with some pushing but i get my hand in his pocket and pull the items and 50dollar bill from his possesion. jacob is ready to go in the drivers seat. i start toward the car. when the bum pulls one of those really tiny swiss army knives on me. he is standing in a position ready for attack. i see the size of the knife and not really afraid of it begin to reason with him asking if it is really worth it. he lunges for me a couple times but i easily dodge him.
the bum leaves and i get back in the car with jacob. now there is a family in his backseat. a mother and a couple of girls. jacob left the car running and suddenly the car just goes. right out into the freeway and down the road with no one at the helm! i grab the wheel and turn it to the side of the road and pull the emergency brake. the car skids to a halt. the family, now somehow out of the car where we started, is standing by as i see jacob galloping down the road after his car....
