Don’t try this with just any car. But if you’ve got the skillz, you can do this all over the City’s avenues.
Is somebody getting ready to try out as a stunt driver for the New Streets of San Francisco? It sure looks that way. Click to expand:

But thank Gaia these tire marks aren’t colored red or blue. Cause we likes our tire skid marks black, and black only, in San Francisco.
Stay safe.

First of all, why does San Francisco even have a 13th Street? That’s some bad juju right there. This road pictured below is “covered by the Central Skyway making it one of the darkest and ugliest streets in San Francisco.”
And actually, we’ve got two entirely different 13th Streets in town - the proper one in the SOMA (illustrated below) plus that other one on Treasure Island. We’re just asking for trouble, aren’t we?

Second of all, MUNI will probably get this 60-foot, articulated ETI Skoda 21Tr-SF TrolleyBus back on the road (eventually), but these Skodas seem to hitch a lot of rides on this ginourmous tow truck. Good thing that these bendy-left-and-right buses are also bendy up and down - it makes towing lots easier.
MUNI fever - catch it!

In the left corner we have One Rincon Hill, South Tower, standing 641 feet tall. Compare that with the “New Sheriff’s Facility” jail (the “glamour slammer“) on the right.
Which building is better?

“I–my idea, when we started out was to have a, you know, rising up, in the form of an undulating, ovulating ground that you don’t get so much nowadays.”

Here’s Michael Jackson and Bubbles, as seen at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco a while back. The situation at Neverland was touch and go for a while there, but things are looking up for Michael and his menagerie.
When will Michael and Bubbles be reunited at the Neverland Ranch? Maybe soon?
