Was in St. Thomas in January and they need about 12 of these ASAP ...

some of their 'roads' are more pothole than road. Beautiful place full of friendly and super hard-working people though. It is a shame they have to drive on those things daily.

Darn good question!**

Perhaps, maybe their proliferation would increase unemployment lines?**

VDOT would still send out a crew of 5. Until they buy two of them, then 10.**

VDOT has to have more than half of their workers standing around!
