Trip Back to Florida

I just drove back to Florida with my dad after having attended my cousin's wedding in Ohio. My car was breaking down pretty badly, the steering wheel shook hard when it hit 50 mph. This reminded me a movie I saw back in Ohio, The Finest Hours. For those who haven't seen the film, this is the description on IMDB -- "The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952."

So while my steering wheel shook, I thought to myself, what would Chris Pine's character Bernie Webber do in this situation? Press on of course! If Bernie Webber wasn't stopped by losing the compass in a hellish storm under frigid temperatures, we are sure not going to be stopped by our car falling apart! With that in mind I stepped hard on the gas pedal and maintained a 75 mph average speed, and me and my dad made it back home in no time.
