General motors has a plant here in Muncie Indiana.
They also make tanks for the US army.

Why won't they test them here in Muncie?
The roads are too damned rough.

I used to drive down from wisconsin a lot, usually on the chicago tollway
which is famous for always being under construction.  Even including that, I
hit more bangs and bumps in the last 10 miles into muncie, than in the whole
rest of the trip.

Occasionally, when we wear the train crossings down to where they only leave
bruises, they go out and "fix" them.  We have a LOT of train crossings.
