Oh my, I feel your sorrow about that truck incident; two hours away from home is a long time.
The worst thing on my part was when my X-Trail got stuck in the middle of the road, just before the traffic lights, right in the middle of rush hour. I couldn't move the car to the side, and the situation was becoming quite stressful. Fortunately, a kind man stopped to help me, and together with a couple of passers-by, they managed to push my car safely to the side of the road. I was so relieved when they came to my rescue and helped me out of this difficult situation. I had to wait there until roadside assistance arrived.
About the fries, it´s a new offer at Mcdonald´s; they call it rustic spicy fries and taste much better than the usual classic ones.
