“my guess is that she was driving on Hicks Street, saw a parking spot on Remsen, and decided to go down the street in reverse. ”
that’s SOOO illegal
you’ll never see someone on a bike going in reverse.
“Rear ended in the hights”? Biff any thoughts on this title?
my guess is that she was driving on Hicks Street, saw a parking spot on Remsen, and decided to go down the street in reverse. Alas, her aim was poor. If not for the massive ironwork and brownstone curb stone, both of which are now in the bottom of the areaway, the car could have done real damage to the house itself.
tybur6, driver underestimated the turbo boost when hitting the gas and didnt have the skillz required to do a fast & furious reverse driving down the street
How does this work? I’m just trying to figure out he physics… both this one and the Rite Aid one.
“They usually always have a lot of left wing pinko tree-hugging bumper stickers as well.”
So true! Subarus and that boxy weird looking car the name of which I never recall. “What is all our oil doing under all their sand?” was particularly annoying.
The house’s ironwork had just been scraped and painted.
Do over!
Is that a Subaru???? Those people are always driving slow in the fast lane on the highway. They usually always have a lot of left wing pinko tree-hugging bumper stickers as well.
actually, other photos show NY plates…
