Re: Running down some perps in the XF...
I designed a mailbox that could take care of its self. It was a big one with a little one inside wrapped in foam. The space inbetween was filled with rebar and concrete. This was mounted on a 4x4 steel bar, set way back from the road surface. Weighed 350# all together and 4' down in the ground with more concrete.
Lasted for 3 years till a drunk took it out, saving himself from getting launched into the creek behind it. ( two others missed the mailbox and landed upsidedown in the creek just after I installed the new one).
The drunk left the scene without his totaled F150 and I had to chase his asp to get his name and id in the public records. He felt that he did not have to pay so my lawyer explained it to him, then he paid me for my materials and time to the tune of $1750.00.
Sweet.
I have stopped protecting the creek and finally moved the mailbox to my other driveway entrance, driver beware of the curve, Woody
