Today has been a long day. You're tired, you're mad with your job, and things are just not going your way. You need something that you can release all your anger and stress on, perhaps with strong swear words and insults in the comments on a web blog. Well, fear not, stressed Oppo, because I am prepared to fall on the sword and provide some of my own stupidity for you to unleash yourselves on.

Yes, I was that asshole. Yes, this was a potentially dangerous move, and yes, I promise never to do it again. But now we know: the Ford Flex, even in FWD form, is a real SUV that can go off road.

*For the record, I made very sure not to interfere with traffic. Dump truck was more "calling me out" than anything else, or just wanted to make sure I saw him.*

Eh, no harm no foul. But I would probably have gone on to the next exit. Unless it was 20 miles down the road. At least you didn't back up on the shoulder. That would have been much worse.

Next exit was a ways up, but this was an interchange. Not that that's an excuse.

No worries. There are no off ramps in my home.

Like I said, no harm, no foul. Yes, it was illegal, but it was done safely. Had I been driving by, I would have said, "Look at that idiot" and kept on my way. I'm not about to start throwing stones.

There's no problem. They just haven't paved that part of the off ramp yet.

He might wonder how that's possible in a FWD Ford.

Crap, I hadn't read correctly.
