So I need to share a crazy Macbook survival story with you all. Disclaimer, do not try this at home.
Friday night, my band finished tracking and I brought my laptop and guitar out to my car. I put the laptop on top of my car and we ended up chatting for another half hour or so outside. So then I get in my car and start to drive home. Couple miles of back roads, then an interstate highway (495). As I am speeding up after the on ramp, my friend and I hear a clunk on the back of my car. We shrugged it off until I got home and realized my MBP was not in my car. The realization that it fell off and that was the noise was not a feeling I would wish upon anyone.
We decided to go back because I knew exactly where it had happened. It was foggy and raining lightly. About an hour and a half had passed. By some absolute miracle, I spot the laptop in its SOFT case IN the right lane just next to the solid white line by the breakdown lane. I pull over and run and grab it. As I'm running back to car I notice it is in one piece. I open it up and there was ZERO cosmetic damage. It was damp, but not soaked.
After a weekend of rice and fans, It is functioning 100% as it should. Knock on wood for a jinx thread but I think to make it this far is just unbelievable. I think Apple should use me for marketing haha.
