Trans Am Still

Most I've run is 704 and 715 legally in one day in my truck. That was pushing it in my first truck and I had zero traffic, all interstate. Second time was minimal traffic and I had to hustle a bit but was clear. Most I have ever done in one shot was PC straight from Olathe, KS to Mary Esther, FL in one trip.

A blonde woman walks into a bank in NYC before going on vacation and asks for a $5,000 loan.
The banker asks, "Okay, miss, is there anything you would like to use as collateral?"
The woman says, "Yes, of course. I'll use my Rolls Royce."
The banker, stunned, asks, "A $250,000 Rolls Royce? Really?"
The woman is completely positive. She hands over the keys, as the bankers and loan officers laugh at her. They check her credentials, make sure she is the title owner. Everything checks out. They park it in their underground garage for two weeks.
When she comes back, she pays off the $5,000 loan as well as the $15.41 interest.
The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very appreciative of your business with us, but I have one question. We looked you up and found out that you are a multi-millionaire. Why would you want to borrow $5,000?"
The woman replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

 

A hillbilly family took a vacation to New York City. One day, the father took his son into a large building. They were amazed by everything they saw, especially the elevator at one end of the lobby. The boy asked, "What's this, Paw?"
The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life. I don't know what it is!"
While the boy and his father were watching in wide-eyed astonishment, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened again, and a voluptuous twenty-four-year old woman stepped out.
The father turned to his son and said, "Go get your maw!"

 

Oh no I created a monster but everyone on my FB page thinks I am funny now

 

Yeah that is a great find! I have taken more than a few RoRO ferries in the Phills. I mostly only see long, overloaded straight trucks in the Phills. Rare tractor/trailers are usually day cabs and usually pulling flat beds with heavy equipment. I would love to know the story of that Pete and how it got there. I wonder if the VIN number would pass a reported stolen in the USA scan, kinda racist I know but I do wonder.

I have seen some crazy ferry loads in SouthEast Asian. Crazy stuff in the Phills, the most crazy in Cambodia, the road from Thailand to Sihanoukville. Used to put fully loaded trucks and busses on makeshift ferrys for river crossings. Had to make 4 river crossings during the trip! I guess the Japanese donated a new highway and it is not like that any more.

The funny thing about the Philippines, they can be so formal. They use proper maritime expressions, talking about what time the "voyage" will start etc. but you are only getting on a little tin can to cross a puddle.



Wish I was there, enjoy!

 

CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- A 75-year-old Cleveland man triggered Saturday's eight car pileup on the Brent Spence Bridge. Thursday, the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments released surveillance video of the accident.

Covington police said he crossed two lanes of traffic to make an exit, collided with a semi that swerved and knocked a carload of people from the upper level to the lower deck. It was a good 15 feet from one level of the Brent Spence to the other.

Eight cars wrecked, one hung off the side of the bridge. The 2000 Olds Intrigue smashed after it was knocked from the top, southbound level of the bridge to the lower level.

The Covington Police report said a Mitsubishi Galant crossed two lanes of traffic to make the Fifth Street Exit. The semi hit it and then hit the Olds Intrigue.

A bystander broke out the back window and got everyone out alive. Covington police said the Galant driver was not paying attention. So far, no one has been cited in the accident. The police chief said that decision will be made by the prosecutor.

Seven cars and a semi were involved in the pileup. Most of the drivers, including the truck driver, were from out of state.
