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!!!
