Man's Girlfriend Dies During Cross Country Road Trip And He Refused To Stop Until They Reached Their Destination

NYDN – A Detroit man said love drove him to road-trip across the country with his girlfriend’s corpse in the passenger seat. Ray Tomlinson arrived in Michigan Monday night after driving from Arizona with his 93-year-old mother and his girlfriend. But the 31-year-old woman died during the trip. Determined not to leave her body alone in a hospital and convinced he had 48 hours to report the death, Tomlinson decided to keep on driving and get her home to Michigan, he told the Detroit Free Press. “I cared too much for her,” he said.

“I cared too much for her” my chapped ass. One of the few pleasures left in life as an adult male is making good time while driving. You women think we drive like 40mph above the speed limit on the Interstate and piss into bottles in the car for fun? Partially, yes. But for the most part it’s so we don’t waste precious minutes. I remember being on death’s doorstep puking pure bile on the way to the shore in a mini-van that was no less than a billion degrees Celsius. My father refused to stop because we were 10 minutes ahead of schedule, and I respect the hell out of him for it now. If he dies, he dies, as long as you beat that traffic it’s all good in the end.

So I can’t hate on Ray Tomlinson wanting to make the quickest time possible, even if it is back to Detroit. The only violation is he failed to pull a Chevy Chase and strap Aunt Edna onto the roof. Not like it was going to hurt her. Having to deal with the stench of a rotting corpse and a 93-year-old living corpse in the same vehicle is worse than being baked in a Dutch Oven owned by Andre The Giant.
