Too Close


Watched this ambulance (woman driving, male in shotgun) back in to this spot yesterday after work. Waiting for the crunching to begin at any moment. Not only did they almost tear the overhang off, they left about a foot of room to get past the garbage can behind it.

Even after they both got out and headed to the coffee shop, I'm sure neither one had any idea how close they were to a major oops.

Re: Too Close


They are not really allowed to strike.

It's more like work under protest.

If you look real close, you can see the fire suppression sprinkler head they almost knocked off.

Re: Too Close


Add about 10 psi to the rear tires and watch the fun!
I'm kidding of course.
