I meet all but three of those criteria and I can actually go fast so...

Hopefully, you get the joke as it was intended...I'm a big VW fan myself but my specialty is magic spinning triangles.    

I haven't driven any of the roads I posted above. But I have driven the Palms to Pines (CA Highway 74) out of Palm Desert below:

And another part of CA Highway 74, the Ortega Highway, out of Lake Elsinore to the  SoCal coast:

And the Angeles Crest Highway (CA Highway 2):

Honey, I'm home!!!

Not sure where that was taken but around here I guarantee that would be taken as a challenge.

There is a train bridge in Toledo that goes over N. Detroit Ave that always floods under it.  People take a look and see the curb still and figure "curb equals about 7" so its less than that".  Problem is that curb is about 16" tall.  There was a cab over semi that got stuck in there once that ended up with water to the bottom of the windshield by the time the rain stopped.

Mazdeuce deleted this because he doesn't want to play a game of message tag until everyone does the right thing anyway. 

Mazdeuce deleted this one too, see mention above. 

Fifth Avenue Truck

Today. That's pretty hot for late April. 

In reply to aircooled :

Maybe we could have a thread in a year or five, just observing some of the absurdities that have come from that spot.  It wouldn't be political then, would it?  

I could argue that making fun of people who say a patently stupid thing transcends politics, anyway.

And yes, Mazdeuce deleted this one too because, seriously, stop quoting stuff that needs to be deleted.  

Yes, I need a haircut too. I did my best. Annie did her best on me. It's presentable. (Annie is always beautiful. And she does a lot of her own hair stuff normally ... which I know nothing about). So thumbs up to your post!

Every time I see a plane, amd think to myself “god damn that’s a pretty airplane”, it has that guys name on the blueprints. 

I think pushers are cool.

My dad and I were there.  It made a big splash, and that's a fact. 

Maybe we should start a FB Marketplace thread of it's own...

Rare car,  Nice wheels though.

BUT I have never heard of an Aston Martin MG!
