I had a '55 Chevy delivered to the Austin area from Northern California. The driver couldn't find my address on his Garmin, despite the fact we have lived here for 6 years, and the Garmins I have on my motorcycles have no issue with our address.
Because he had no idea where we live, he took a turn at the neighborhood entrance onto a street that leads to a dead end. He requested that I come down to help him, so I grabbed my neighbor to give me a ride to where he was. After I got him to move his semi out of the very tight entrance, so neighbors could get in, he was so worried about not being able to turn around in the cul-de-sac at the end of our house, (like many semis have done in the time we have lived here), that I showed him a space he could drop the car at, and leave the neighborhood directly. Of course, I was expecting to jump in the '55 and drive home, but.... the car was out of gas!
We got it off the truck, with me pushing, and him inside steering, and I had to call my neighbor to come back and give me a ride to the gas station.
