   I put in those reflectors on each side of the driveway about 6" off the   
   pavement.  I live just over the top of a hill and they help me find the   
   drive at night.  Fed Ex man just ran it over pulling out of the drive.   
   To me it's a sign of stupidity if you can't get out of my driveway at   
   25' wide without having to go over my lawn.  I'm down to one marker that   
   I had to cut the mangled bottom off, so it's shorter than original.   
   I'll get new ones after they run this one over.

   My wife has said she would like to drive it.  She's not going to.
