For post #11650, why so many cars lined up to get gas at a very rural location? The terrain is definitely woodsy / mountainous and from the number of cars waiting in line, you'd think this was the last-chance gas station for the next 300 miles.

Sequoia National Park, currently in the news

Looks like Broadway Taxi was not brand sensitive?

Right, Gary...or at least until they discovered the Champions probably got half again the gas mileage of the Ford V-8s...not to mention oil mileage and the ability to stay cooler, easier in city traffic! BP

Indeed, Kurt; I saw that, too. I only watched it once and missed the C.o.E truck; I'll go back and check. Surely there were others, somewhere. Did anyone see any? BP
