Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass.
In the event that a horse refuses to pass a car on the road, the owner must take his car apart and conceal the parts in the bushes.[color=#666666][font=KinjaIcons][size=4][center]P[/center][/size][/font][/color][/indent][font=Georgia, serif][size=4][background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]

shall be calculated by multiplying the wheel base times the wheel track,
and dividing the product by a safety factor of 2200:
i.e., 92" w/b x 58" w/t = 5336/2200 = 2" (maximum mechanical lift). Which for reference, a Jeep cherokees maximum lift is approx. 2.5 inches, which is complete bull.[color=#666666][font=KinjaIcons][size=4][center]P
