Last week I was at the J just outside Brownsville. It was the usual early evening grid lock trying to find a parking spot. I had a reserved spot but could not get to it because of the gridlock.
I've been driving since 1966 and I haven't seen it all but a lot of it. As I'm just setting there waiting for a driver to finish wearing ruts in the asphalt trying to get parked and low and behold here comes a Swift truck up the side of us all. He sees an empty bay in the shop with chains dropped and he figures that is his way out. He drives into, through and out the other side. I'm still trying to figure out if his "trainer" taught him that maneuver or was it his original. And yes it truly was a Swift.
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN IT ALL
