Crazy Cars

Spring Break has finally started, planning on going camping at some point but the they are forecasting rain for everyday this week. Most of my neighbors seem to have gone somewhere, so at least they won't be making a ruckus around here like they normally do.

The other day I saw driving home and noticed a red Toyota Tercel station wagon, with some red letter on the back window. I sped up so I could read it, " US MAIL", now I have never seen a something like this before, so I started to wonder, is this guy just really into mail, or does USPS actually have a fleet of these things. I sped up more to see if there was any mail in there, but instead I noticed there was a steering wheel with no one behind it. Turns out it was one of those cars with 2 steering wheels, and 2 sets of pedals. He then reaches over to the other steering wheel and flips the indicator, kind of odd, go through the trouble of duplicate mechanical controls, but they can't add another indicator switch? Anyway on my normally boring commute that was a comical experience.

    I've seen them all the time. Well, not a Toyota Tercel specifically, but I've seen all manner of mail vehicles used to deliver mail. In my old neighborhood, we had a blue station wagon for a couple of years. Since they were new houses when we moved in, I'm guessing it was a newer route and they didn't have enough of the white mail trucks for all the routes. My guess is that this might be common practice around the country, when new routes are added and they have to fit in whatever vehicles that they can.

    haha yeah, I used to have a mailman that drove a 1995 oldsmobile cutlass or something like that. He'd control the gas and break on the passenger side and use the steering wheel in it's normal spot. Definitely different!

    Yeah, my grandparents live out in the middle of nowhere so the mail sends some old Ford out there to deliver the mail I think. Have fun on spring break
