No driveway. I live on a five lane street with a T alley on one side and behind the house. Buena Vist St. is one of the main through streets in the city. Like a freeway 24 - 7. Across the alley from the house is a 7-11, then the main intersection. Burbank Bl. and Buena Vista intersection has the highest number of accidents in the city of Burbank. Buena Vista has a long sweeping curve going south before the intersection, and some drivers continue the curve through the intersection, and just get to close to the cars as they pass our house. The drunks miss the curb but nail the cars.



Counting all four alleys and business driveways at this intersection, there are 36 way to make a left turn.



There is a Block Buster video store across the street. My next door neighbors car has been hit twice by someone turning left out of Block Buster. Now how does someone make a left turn, out of the parking lot ,cross 5 lanes, and still hit a parked car?



The Tahoe was making a right turn out of the alley and nailed Ricks Chevelle hard.



It would be nice to have a driveway. My 34 Chevy is in the garage. The 47 Hudson PU, 64 El Camino and 69 AMX, are on a concrete slab behind the garage. NO WAY IN THE STREET. I used to have a couple of early Chevy Caprices in the back yard but the city said I could not have cars in the back yard. When I moved them out to the steet, they were, at different times, totalled by drunk drivers while park in front of the house. One was hit so hard, it landed 60 feet onto my neighbors front lawn, inches from hitting his van in the driveway, that was just paid off.



So, if you come to visit, park on the other side of the street. There has never been an accident on that side.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Will do. That was good for a good laugh. Made my day.



You would be suprised how many fools do park in front of my home and cross those five lanes to get a $2.00 video. They won't park here again if they, or their car gets hit.



Have a good day Alex. Lee



I'm still chuckling. Have to tell the wife when she gets home.

Hi Vic



7-11 is good.



When did you go to work for BIG BROTHER? Could not resist.



Rick wants me to build a garage. Actually, I have wanted to build a 4 car garage, but since I have been unemployed for 7 months, all projects are on hold.



I'll see you at the next CIC meeting. Lee

Been known to collect a few Chevrolets in my time. I still keep my membership in the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (32 Chev and 60 Elcamino) that is headquartered down near you. I have to agree, I would have you pick me up at the Airport in the 34 Chev--percentages tell me that I would have a better chance of staying alive that way?" I ended up out of work late last year. I have been looking for six months now and the pickins are slim if you are a four time looser (i.e. Safety Management job, over 65, aerospace experience and overqualified.) I did get a job "internet interview" from China that was half the pay, 60 hours a week and I had to pay my own way to get there to start the job........
