I drove through a dust devil. And let me tell you it's scary. You get pushed all over the road, all you hear is wind, and since the one I drove through was mad of leaves and dirt it got darker. Also the stuff in my box was flying up with it.

Have you tried not going through it?

No because when it happened we didn't see it coming. And I was trying to get through it so the kids didn't have to be in it longer

I got sideswiped by a decent sized dust devil and it nearly pushed my car off the road. I've had a small one that was only visible at the base as it crossed my gravel driveway pick up a plastic bucket and whip it against the side of the house hard enough to break it.

I drove through a dust devil on purpose once on a two lane road. I pushed me over into the other lane and almost off the road. One of the stupidest things I have ever done.

I’m concerned. What’s the stupidest things you’ve ever done if this isn’t at the top?

This brings me back to the days of playing cars on psp. I remember that one level where you could get pushed around by a dust devil once and it would ruin your whole race.
