That is, unless, you happen to be driving by the 24.8% percent grade of Jones between California and Pine. I live just by there, and paused, mid intersection, when I beheld a limo making a daring turn down Jones. The result was delicious.
The poor bastard couldn’t get traction on either side; his limo had become the lever on the fulcrum, and seemed as ready to teeter on either side.

Two cigarettes and three phone calls later, he relented, sitting back in the driver’s seat.
I’d love to see more things like this. I want the Muni off the tracks, plane in the bay, sail-boat washed up on the shore. I’m not interested in destruction, just unnatural angles.
