Bought a new house and the driveway isn't wide enough (until tomorrow) to get my trailer in so I pulled into a business with a big parking lot to unload the car. Was only about 1/2 mile or so from our house, but it felt good driving it down this little country road. 42' wide driveway entrance coming tomorrow via yours truly the general contractor for a day.

Did you use your directional indicator when turning into the drive ?
That seals it for me.

make sure to have the driver add water to the Cement/truck before they pour..it always needs water to get the mix correct. if not..youll be breaking your back and rake..lol (they send concrete trucks out dry-er to slow down the cure rate)fyi.. best of luck..

Street car? Sure if it was legal to be driven on the street. Streetable? That's a different subject.

I'll never understand why harleys get free passes for being loud, but a loud car will get a ticket.

Half a mile doesn't constitute a "street" car.

That's a quarter mile to wring it out and a quarter to get it
slowed down to make the driveway. (turn-off)

They don't .......sort of.
My Brother and I got stopped while enjoying a leisurely putt near downtown Minneapolis.
He wrote us both , telling my Brother that his bike was clearly louder.
He has stock pipes......I do not.
We went to court to contest the ticket and the court , in their wisdom , dismissed them both.
But we had to go to the court house , wait to see a hearing officer who will decide if they will drop it or not , then go to the court room , where the prosecutor decided it wasn't worth their time or money to fight.
The best part of it all was the wait for the hearing officer.
We were packed into a room with some thirty other people who wanted to try and get their charges dropped........my Brother and I were the only caucasians in the room.
The come out and call your name when it is your turn to see the man , and this person came out and called " Ali ? Muhammed Ali ? "
A 75 pound , stick legged person of Somali descent rose from the corner and proceeded to the door.
I stepped in front of him , pointed and said , loud enough for the entire audience......... " Hey.....it's the Champ ! "
Brought the house down.
Even the hearing officer had to laugh.
My criteria for what constitutes a street car are far more liberal than most......definitely most law enforcement officers.
Is it safe ?
Then it'll do.

I am sure that all the lights work, and it has an emisions sticker probly, all you need is a handicap sticker for parking and you are good to good, most miles put on it this year from parking lot to driveway, something wrong with this picture, I guess Dad should come down and race that puppy for you so it doesn't get cobwebs!
