Back about 1971 I drove a Yellow Cab in Burlington Vermont. Some of them had RailRoad Ties for bumpers!! A VERY early and unexpected snow storm hit one year and caught us with the summer tires still on. A guy coming from a cross street slid in front of me and I rammed him doing about 40. There was no personal damage that a shower and a box of laundry soap couldnt fix but his car was totalled. I just chipped a little wood. Half hour later I was on the road again in the same cab. I loved that old tank!!! -----Original Message----- From: EMZ <vw4x4@FYI.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Date: Friday, February 05, 1999 12:01 AM Subject: Your going to love this!
