Take a look at this video and I'd like to hear your comments.  

RJ or BK would you do this, or would you fire the driver?

That looks like "the eye of the needle" on the Needles Hwy in south dakota

That's the place.  Been through there with my tow car, but not our rig.  No way!  If I remember right it is 8'-4" wide ?  Must be wider to get a 96" coach through.  Looked like his mirrors were out and not folded.

Yea and it cost the idiot to drive through it I done it once in bus never again will I drive that 14 miles, a 96 in wide bus will go through there with the mirrors out looks wider than 8ft 4 from a distance up close or in it more like 6ft it will make one pucker but that outfit does it every day during the summer and like a fool I listen to one of the drivers no problem he said when I asked

Proves a few things don't it, and he still has not gotten to the circular turn back under, yup why the signs are out on the Needles Highway with the width & height cautions.

It's really not any worse than the Garden of Gods in Co Springs my stupid gps sent me through there it wasn't a fun deal either then the one in Utah going over and through the mountain on highway 9 to Cedar City or St George forgot which, it wasn't that enjoyable of a ride not much you can do about it when the decision has been made expect go forward listening to the co-pilot telling you I told you read the signs

Clifford we live 2 blocks from Garden of the Gods for 10 years. Neat place eh. 7 Sisters would be more fun in a bus up by the Broadmore Hotel.

What's the big deal? It either fits or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you back out the way you got in. LOL.

Are you serious, Clifford?!? Tell me you came from the east, at least. I thought we went on some iffy roads, in the past, but we have NEVER done anything like Silver City from the east. Now, if you told me you came from the west, I would say that is just about impossible. Front side, that would be tough, backside, impossible.

Now, I am really impressed.

I guess if those drivers do it all the time they can do it provided they do it the same way everytime. With only inches to spare, I'll bet any first timer will be sweating like a horse.
