Euro Truck Simulator 2: Misadventures Part 1

It almost looks like a dream.  A dream that is a lie.

So I finally broke down and bought Euro Truck Simulator 2.  I've been eyeing the game since it was released.  Today I finally said "screw it" and took the plunge. Let me first say that I'm loving the game.  It has this really weird appeal that I can't exactly explain. I've not gotten very far in it yet, but I absolutely foresee myself continuing with it.  Building my own delivery truck fleet has never looked so appealing. Secondly let me say that I am (unsurprisingly) REALLY REALLY bad at it.  Okay, maybe I exaggerate.  I'm not terrible. I've even had a single delivery job that had no accidents and only a tiny bit of truck damage. Using Euro Truck as an example though, would I hire myself for a truck fleet?  Not a chance in hell.

For your enjoyment, here is a tiny glimpse of my misadventures in truck delivery:

The first clue that this might not be my calling in my life.  I didn't listen.

Whoopsy Daisy! No seriously.  I feel awful.

Somehow this has all gone so wrong.
I crashed in no fewer than five cars getting out of this mess.
In my defense the other drivers were idiots.

So ... this MAY not be my calling in life. I just have that feeling. Not sure why. Just do. pic.twitter.com/9WwVD6Jket

I successfully made a delivery! #EuroTruckSimulator2 said my employer covered the cost of gas. WHY would someone hire me? WHY? WHY?

@photoleia Also, don't be such a wimp, truck. I only ran over like 5 guard rails & caused 5 car wrecks."Engine malfunction"? Puhleeze.

@photoleia I'm terrorizing the French countryside one road at a time. Better watch out @GuiOhm |#EuroTruckSimulator2
