    If you’re gonna put the tow truck there, you need cones or flares or a cop car with lights flashing in back of it.

    Looks like something that used to be on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

    I’ve achieved some speeds I’d rather not recall on that road in the name of making deadline. Even inadvertently blew through a stop sign once in Homerville after a playoff game and wound up getting airborne over some railroad tracks (and temporarily stalling my truck upon landing.) But I’ll damned if I used a tow truck ramp as a ski jump.

    The agony of off-street.

    Based on the sound, the girl locked it up a second before she saw she was gonna ramp. If she'd kept momentum and the wheel straight, she might've landed on all fours, like a cat.

    Does that flimsy wooden wall actually block much sound?

    I thought those kind of walls were concrete pre-formed panels. Geez.

    This young lady will also soon be a millionaire if not a hundred-thousand-aire. This was pure negligence by Georgia authorities.

    After picking up some of the wood, I wouldn’t say it’s flimsy. It was pretty heavy stuff. Since I’ve never been in a backyard with a concrete barrier, I have no comparison. It’s not bad. I mean, we sit outside all the time and talk. But I grew up on a logging road with a speed limit of 55, so I’m used to trucks cruising by.

    They’ll eventually replace it, the wall they said is about 25-30 years old.

    Driving tips from Bo Duke? Was Rosco chasing her?
