    What's infuriating is whichever government agency is responsible hasn't installed a traffic light where there is a clear need for it, especially at a busy truck stop located on a busy street or highway.

    Stay tuned for the next adventure of expedite_it. Hear your favorite members ask questions like, “Are you serious?” “Is this a joke?” Hear Comments like “please explain”, “ time to quit” and of course “Unbelievable”. That’s all folks!!

    @Bud A. Your thread didn't last very long LOL. Are you still stuck at those railroad tracks? I think I figured out how to get you rolling.

    You can pull out and block the red car with your red truck, and block the purple train with your red trailer, and shoot out in between the blue and yellow car. They are 100 feet/yards apart so you should be good. Hopefully you slid your tandems up so you can make it into the guard shack. Good luck!

    Fun fact. I actually had no idea what Jabroni means, so I googled it.

    A person who says stupid things all the time, often without knowing how dumb they really sound.

    A person that has no idea what is going on around them and asks [COLOR=rgb(19 79 230 / var(--tw-text-opacity))]idiotic

    Honestly, I don't understand why mine was closed and this one and the similar ones are not. Seriously, is there any real difference? Maybe the difference is someone reporting mine and not this.

    Anyway, thanks for drawing the picture. I had been thinking about making one myself. I might still do it.

    I say this with the utmost respect for all the moderators, they have their work cut out for them and they do a great job. But I have to wonder if when they see a thread like this and all other expedite it threads that is so ridiculous, so utterly asinine beyond all belief, that they just kind of look the other way and pretend they didn't see it.
     
    Rideandrepair and Bud A. Thank this.
