What the 'ell?
Can't tell how wide the street is but I could probably back an 18 wheeler up there.... although I might scrape the bush that hides his mailbox.

You have to remember how narrow minded John is. If his street and
driveway are a certain width and length, everyone's should be exactly
the same.

It was always a bitch backing that 25' Parker on its trailer down my
driveway, because of the narrowness of our little private road in this
part of the subdivision, the narrowness of the driveway in places and
the curves. As long as I did it slowly, I was OK...usually. The
smaller Parker was never a problem.

My boat lives in back of my house, I have to go between the house, and
trees, curving around the corner of the house, through the fence
opening. The trouble is getting started right, because when I back into
the driveway there is a hump to go over that is abrupt enough that you
lose sight of the boat in the mirrors unless you have it started at the
correct angle. I'm used to it so no problem for me, but for someone that
hasn't ever backed it down there, I will guarantee they'll fumble around
with it.
