      Honestly that is probably less dangerous than the regular streets of SF. Never felt more like I was about to die in a cab than I did riding in SF. Dude seemed to know what he was doing but it felt like a roller coaster.

        Now imagine the actual Steve McQueen driving at top Mustang speed up and down those streets in Bullitt. Absolute legend.

      That parking space for the white car in the first photo looks like it sucks.

        Surprised it’s still the whole car and not just the front.

        I wonder if that is actually an allowed space.

          Agreed.

          I’m feeling anxiety just imagining backing out of that.

      That car parked in that not really a parking spot is just asking to have their bumper ripped off.

        Coast down it in first so you don’t fade your brakes to uselessness (even automatics have a first-second for engine braking downhill like this).

          Not mine. I think it has automatic engine braking or something since I don’t drift downhill as soon as I let off the brake though.

            Yea our Hyundai does this too but you need to tap on the brakes and then you will see the revs raise and hold. It only does it when on a downhill incline.

      I guess SF lied when they said Lombard was the crookedest street in the world. The one from the meme is clearly more crooked. Also, when was that picture taken? There’s usually a huge line of tourist cars driving down that street. I’ve never seen it with only 2 cars.

        I thought they blocked it to only local traffic after residents complained?

          Oh, maybe? I haven’t been back to SF in over a decade. I’m kind of afraid to go back, because I love that city, and the things I read about it on the internet these days make it seem like it has deteriorated dramatically since I was there last.

        Going by the memory of my 1980 edition of the Guinness book of world records, it was the number of hairpin turns that made it the crookedest street. There could also be a difference between a street and a road.
