I did a little digging for info. The bridge is at the Valero Memphis Terminal. It dead-ends just past the bridge into an oil refinery. (so the bridge only has to be high enough for tankers) Somebody made a wrong turn.

Don’t you mean turn in the same direction?

He slid down the rope for part of it, so just some bad rope burn.

My friends and I were holding onto ropes trying to help a hot-air balloon land in our playground when we were young. The balloon shot up all of a sudden, and my friend panicked and didn’t let go of the line. He was a good 15 ft in the air before he bailed. That was scary.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this thing (although absolutely beautiful), has less HP than my Ninja 650.

(Updated Friday August 30, 2020 12:18 p.m.—The following specs are what was supplied to me by Volkswagen, however, Jason Torchinsky pointed out that he believes this Ghia actually runs a 1600 because of the dual-port intake, which would make closer to 50 HP)

Came here for this.

I came here to post the exact same thing! Lol.

It’s Colorado, so there’s got to be some kind of drugs involved.

You may be following at a safe distance, but you could get rear-ended and shoved into a trailer. I’ve watched too many ice-storm pileup videos.

In Pennsylvania, we have pretty thorough (sometimes annoyingly so) annual inspections, and emissions inspections if you live in the major cities.

This reminds me of the story that I heard on Car Talk where the girl shows up to pick up her boyfriend’s truck, which she insisted was a “Fiso”. They eventually figured it out.

I liked the styling, and test drove a few back in the day. I thought they were fun to drive, but the 4-banger was underpowered, and the V-6 was very nose-heavy.

I love Buells, but good luck finding parts. They just didn’t make a ton of them, and HD support wasn’t great when they where being sold, and now a lot of dealers won’t touch them.

That speech is so much better when delivered by Gilbert Gottfried.

The definition of irony.

Just let some air out of the tires.

The crazy thing I learned last year was that there were 2 Broncos. OJ and Al Cowlings had matching white Broncos.

Beat me to it!

Jalopnik is disappointing me. I have not seen one “My old man is a television repairman, he’s got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.” reply.
