Tight Squeeze

Anyone ever notice the new drive in windows at fast food joints? Man, it's a real fun time trying to get my crew cab around those corners. They must have laid them out for Yugos! Good thing I've got thick side walls, I driven over more curbs than I care to remember.

On another not regarding fast food places,

For some reason, there are two fast food joints that don't pick my truck up when I'm sitting there.

Do they use some sort of beam detector, I only can think that my truck is to high and the beam goes under so they can't detect me.

Annoys me that my truck is taller than a metro bus, but a fast food place can't tell I'm there.

Of course I can only go to a couple, cause the others have awnings that would meet my windshield.....

Ha! You oughtta try going through them places in a DUALLY! My bank has four drive-through lanes. I was waiting in line there one day (the first time I tried to use it in my truck) and I noticed that the lane closest to the building was a little wider (I counted the number of bricks overhead and that one lane was about 2 bricks wider. I choose that lane from that point on. It is still tight, however. There's no way I could get through the others.........
