If there is a crack or slash in the reflecting pool, it will be interesting to see its' location

after the pool is drained so long as *rump doesn't put a tarp up to hide the pool from view.



The average weight of an armored SUV runs from 6,800 to 11,000 lbs, not including the passengers, and turning a vehicle diagonally greatly increases localized stress on concrete.

from 1.5 to 2.5 feet deep basically a giant wading pool.

As a side note, the average weight of an automobile in the 1920s during the Model T era was 1,200 to 3000 lbs.

It's almost as if they were trying to sabotage this renovation on purpose.

Like when he drives his cart onto the green
That's the ultimate golf sin
