So I went to meet a fellow E30 enthusiast Saturday to sell my LS-B Recaro seats and borrowed my girl's truck to transport the seats. Well that was all good and fine but when I got in the truck I helped myself to some gum that was buried in the center console. I started with two pieces but since it seemed kind of "stale" I upped the anty and popped in another two pieces. I was chomping away on that gum for about 20 minutes and all was fine until l left the parking lot after completing the sale, when all of a sudden I started feeling pretty weird and headed home about 10 minutes away. Once on the highway I started to feel worse with increasing nausea, dizziness, headache, and who knows what else. At this point I started to apply my genius analytic mind and thought "hey could that have been nicotine gum"? Now, I don't smoke or chew and so this stuff was kicking my ass to the point of getting so messed up that I puked while driving (luckily there was an empty water bottle to use to contain most of it). I was now in a race to get home asap. I barely made it into the driveway ran in the house and essentially passed out for 3 hours. The after affects of niotine overdose were with me all the next day. Now that some time has passed I can somewhat laugh at the ridiculousness of it.
Lesson learned. Don't f... with the wrong gum.
