So, back around 2005, Chuck hits me up like, “Yo Don, what are you doing?” I was just chilling, watching some TV. He was like you wanna go to West Virginia? I'm like why would I want to go to West Virginia? He says there’s this female I’m going to try out, she’s got friends for you to try out too, and I heard they got some good food down there. A couple hours later we were in the car, hopped up on “enhancements” and driving from Philly to West Virginia on a whim, all this when we could’ve just went up the Ave for a hooker and down South Philly for a cheesesteak. 😂 But nah, not us. We needed the adventure.
Now here’s where it gets wild, every time we cross into a new state, I’d pull out my piece and shoot at the “Welcome to” signs. Yeah, I know, reckless as hell, but that was my life back then. Eventually Chuck gets pulled over, his face caked like a powdered donut, I got my situation under my lap, and he’s mouthing off to the cop. I’m sitting there thinking, Bro, shut the fuck up, I am NOT going to jail out here in the sticks. Then Chuck looks in the mirror, realizes what his face looks like, and he goes ghost white, whiter than he already was. The cop comes back, looks us over, and just says, get out of here. I told him GO before Chuck could even put the car in drive. To this day I still don’t know how we skated on that one.
But the trip wasn’t done with us yet. Later, driving through the mountains, we both got sick as hell and had to pull over. Another cop pulls up behind us like, what’s going on? I told him, Officer, I’m lightheaded, nauseous feel like I'm going to pass out. He goes, it's the change in altitude. Happens all the time to people not from here. I saw your PA plates and figured that’s what it was. Super cool dude, no issues at all.
Meanwhile, Chuck’s flying down mountain roads at 100 mph, steering with his knee while doing lines. Holy shit, man. Looking back, I can’t even believe that was real life. But that’s the thing for most people, this would be the craziest story they ever tell. For me? Back then… that was just a Tuesday. 🤷♂️
