I'm looking at the gauges on the dashboard, is the car overheating? Is it out of oil? I mess with the radio dial, any dial I can find, have no idea what's going on...and as the sound becomes deafening I see a jet fighter swoop down over me, literally at something like 50 feet. Came pretty close to soiling myself...evidently this is fairly common out West, harass the occasional motorist or bovine.
