I live in a heavily populated area. Y turns and K turns are impossible. If I have to turn around I have to pull off the major road and turn around in a parking lot or something to get back out on the road.
Damn I feel really old now letters insted of numbers for turns......

With the big truck, even in my not so densely populated area it would be almost impossible to pull off.

Yeah, he's a crackhead. That's why he doesn't live here anymore. His brother threw him out because he was a lazy, dope head, POS. This being Texas, I'm sure he'll be on death row shortly.

Wow. Still trying to catch up from the weekend away. For my 25th birthday (a long time ago) my wife got me a cake decorated like a big pile of turds. Complete with toilet paper scraps and little flies!

Congrats on the driving test Jacob.

Holy cow Scott. Good riddance. (No CD yet, hopefully tomorrow)

I always loved the j-turn on the Rockford Files although I did not know that is what it's called.
