I Purchased "a new to me" 1979 Toyota FJ40

This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 reportedly spent time in Washington and North Carolina before being brought to Idaho by the seller eight years ago. It is finished in yellow with a white roof over a gray vinyl interior, and power comes from a 4.2-liter 2F straight-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case.

Car Drives Over a Foot Bridge

I get to work today and it is another normal day. I look out the window at 7:30 AM and see a car has driven over the foot bridge between the two buildings.

I have no idea what the ticket was for. The tow truck driver cranked up the car and reversed it back across the bridge. He then pulled the car up the stairs with the tow truck cables and lifted the car onto the bed of the truck and drove off. I was thinking the tow truck driver was crazy because if the bridge collapsed then he would be stuck in the car. Someone said he opened the sunroof before he drove the car back over the bridge.
