Default Crazy thing happened


I hit 88 mph in the vette today and something weird happened. As soon as I hit 88 mph flames came shooting off the tires and everything was a blur for a moment. I hit the brakes and when i came to a stop, I found this picture in the passenger seat, along with a sports almanac, on the other side of town.

Only sports almanacs from the future are worth anything, keep that in mind.
