One more thought. I think I still have some e-tickets from Disneyland from years ago. I understand they are actually still good so IF I find them and bring them can I drive the twins?

Hey Walt,
For the safety of others and the "Tractors Safety", we have assigned designated drivers only. Sorry Pal, but I checked twice and your name is not on the drivers list. At this time there are only two names on the list... I'm sure it may increase, but now it just two that are authorized to drive it.

I'm glad that your trouble ended without any crunched metal. I hope that is the last of it for this trip!
Thinking about things, I wonder if maybe seeing all that yellow iron, mounted up on all the black iron and pulled by all the gold iron, maybe she came to a life realization. Maybe she was trying to commit suicide to prevent just the aforementioned voting and reproducing.
On the other hand, maybe she was a Bay Area Kamikaze. Maybe seeing all that iron moving together, burning fossil fuels just worked her to an uncontrollable froth and she thought she had to sacrifice herself to stop the operation there and then.
Either way, I'm glad your and Steve's cooler heads prevailed, you kept the situation under control and most importantly, you protected the SxS D8 at all costs!
Talk to you soon,
Pete.

Hey Glen,
Being that you live in "Nancy Pelosi Land", I would think you would be used to the mind-set of the Ramp Queen you encountered yesterday. I actually feel sorry for you!

You guys are too skeptical-maybe her grandpa had aD8 & she just got pissed 'cause you wouldn't let her get a closer look! Probably the chrome stacks had her mesmerized too...
Nah, probably not...

I've seen plenty of Escalade drivers behave like that...

Always boggles my mind when folks drive like that - especially around a big heavy truck. Wonder what goes on in her head - did she not realize that her running into the low bed is going to result in a bloody stain on the ramp and a slightly scratched fender on the trailer?
My hat's off to you living and working in that area - I avoid the entire bay area like the plague since it's a pain to drive there even in a car, let along a big truck.

Hey jaluhn,
Regarding what is in her head, in my opinion there is really NOTHING there. She is just a typical empty headed, arrogant, self centered, IDIOT!

Oh come on guys, think logically. She was probably just squeezing up there to show you guys her fingernail polish. After all she kept putting her fingers up to show you. Oh, wait, young Prius driving female, no logic possible.
