That One Time Kenny Rogers Drove a Van Off Settles Bridge


Our older readers may remember the 1982 smash hit movie Six Pack, which featured none other than the Gambler himself as race car driver Brewster Baker. 


Seen above, Suwanee's historic Settles Bridge, built in 1880. The bridge is in excellent shape, only missing the original wooden deck, which would of course make it difficult to cross in a van.

Disclaimer: we lied. Kenny Rogers did not actually drive the van off Settles Bridge. He was in fact driving a Winnebago and chasing some kids who were driving the van, but "That One Time Kenny Rogers Chased Some Kids in a Van with a Winnebago and the Kids Drove the Van Off Settles Bridge" was too long of a headline.

Check out the full chase scene below. Settles Bridge shows up around the 1:30 mark. 


Advisory: as tempting as it may be, do not attempt to recreate this legendary moment of cinema. You've got to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.
