35 PERCENT GRADE
I just came across this and thought I'd share...this is a pic of a street in Australia. Imagine taking a big rid down (or up) this!

Looks like the hills on some of the back roads in CT and NY state back when I drove B model and early DM Mack dump trucks and moved heavy equipment in that area.
