What kind of idiots build houses that overhang the road? (Rhetorical question, I know the answer).

When I saw him driving through town unloaded I wondered why? There was no way he was coming back loaded. Wrong!

I think helicopters might be a better choice.

And for those who don't, the houses came first, then the roads...I've driven on those streets and roads (seldom sober) in my much younger days in my VW's and my Opel...Never hit anything either, but there is a good reason why the truckers in Europe prefer the shortest wheelbase cabovers they can find...The picture below is of my favorite ride in those days taken in one of the wider spots on the road along the Riviera...Note the semaphore turn signals on the "B" pillar, and ignore the wretch that the spokesmodel became following a life of wanton debauchery......Ben

The impressive thing is that there does not appear to be a single scratch on the truck... or houses for that matter. The driver has patience.

I had a few bugs as a kid too... Slam 'em, drop in a 2110 with dual carbs and they handled real well... I use to take my ex wife's to the track. People were impressed with the 2nd gear chirps I could produce.

Had a Baja Bug with a built 911 engine until I buried it on the beach in mexico. just me and a buddy around for miles so we pulled the engine as the tide was coming up and everything else was lost the the 22' tide in the Sea of Cortez (it floated for a while but never washed up on shore).. We had to carry that engine about a quarter mile to get it above the high tide line..Lost our cooler and all our beer sitting in the back seat... strange priorities back then I guess. At 15 I had most of my net worth wrapped up in that engine
