Still negotiable, my tailfeathers!

I wouldn't try to drive on that road with my Jeep!

That 'bump' cants too far to the side, it'd roll a Jeep like nothing. Heck, it's so far to the side, it's probably roll a military Hummvee if they tries to follow the road lines.

Make the drivers with DWI convictions live on that road. They won't know the difference.

Found this on the internet, but if I had a digital camera when I lived in WVa for three years, I could have taken a similar picture after every hard rain storm. (the cameras were all film type at that time)
Traveling through the southern half makes one think they are stuck in the movie "Groundhog Day". All the roads are similar for mile after mile - they wind down through tight valleys with a railroad, a creek, a single row of houses and a road. Tight valleys and a road make for problems. You know the railroad is going to have the high ground, so the road goes in close to the creek.

Unless Legless has changed his name it's the latter. This guy has been here less than a week and made 10 posts, all of them fatuous.
