Ok ok our story takes the cake over everyone else's. How should i start? Well we were on our charter bus 2 years ago comming from the Hartford Connecticut regional. Most all of us were sleeping on the because it was a long trip for us to go back to michigan and it was about 2 in the morning. Ok, now it gets good, so were driving down I-75 and we all wake up at once to hear this horrible scraping noise along the side of the bus. When we looked out the window, we saw this old junker of a car with 3 wheels driving along the side of the bus. At first we all thought it was the most hilarious thing that we have ever seen in our life, wouldnt you? well after awhile, about 30 minutes of this constant noise it, he finally passed us, and none of us expected what would happen next. The car starts slowing down and trying to stop the bus. Whenever we would try and pass this guy he would block us and keep slowing down. He succeded in getting us to stop a few times, but our expert bus driver would just pass him again and this would start all over. By this time our team leader, Kyle Hughes, had called 911 to get some police to help us get rid of this idiot. The ironic thing about this call was that this guy had already called in to 911 and told them that our bus had sparks comming out of the back. Well we knew that nothing was wrong with the bus, and it seemed kind of suspicious to us so we didnt stop. A few minutes later, 5 squad cars had came to our rescue and started chasing this guy down, when he cut accross the median, right in the middle of I-75 and started going the opposite way. The police finally caught him and explained to us that he was trying to hijack our bus because he was running from the police. Our bus then got escorted to the Park and Ride where our parents waited for us. Needless to say it was a very interesting ride home, and will never be forgotten by the members of the team who experienced this. We had a great story to tell our parents and all our classmates on monday for school!!!
