I sure hope they give him a nice bill for destroying the concrete pour. I would pull that car up on a tow truck and let the concrete set before he got it back.

just so you know..that contractor better have a detour plan that makes sense. you have to design those things for the dumbest possible driver you think you may encounter.

i bet he has to pay.

The barrack has a no left turn sign on it. I wonder if this person drove around it. Looks like new asphalt under the sign.

When they invent the self-standing shovel all those guys will be out of work...

I've done this trick before, except I was on a road bike. Going from 18 mph to dead stop in 6 feet is a helluva ride. The worst part was getting my Sidis shoes dirty.

That's the corner of Marina Blvd and Broderick. It's probabaly just a re-paving job unrelated to the Doyle Drive project.

I lived right down the street in 1989, then the earthquake hit. There was a lot more damage than that Porsche caused.
