I have experienced CV separation while on the road and was stranded between
nowhere and anywhere. A long stretch of empty highway in Alaska at the
time......and the distances between anywhere and nowhere can be great up
there. As luck would have it, there was this trucker.............!

Anyway, t'was not my beloved Vanagon that did it to me, but my '68 Bus.
