a new low in off-roading
« on: October 22, 2013, 07:42:03 AM »
Or: Mind the pothole.

Couple of questions:

- where's the snorkle?

- just how much is the prize for making it through the course?

And in closing - wimmin drivers!

stay safe.

The snorkel is running up the passenger side of the windshield.  Looks cold!

Props to Russians for in every video like this I've ever seen, being cool as cucumbers. No "Oh my God!", "Holy crap!", "Oh *expletive deleted*it", or anything that you would see yelled out even by "tough guys" in American videos.

The water is about to go over her head and she looks like she's taking a drive to the corner grocery store.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Most of the Russian videos like that, that I've seen involve someone coming closer to death or dismemberment.
That was pretty good really.

Considering most tanks have been hardened against chem attack, I'd venture to guess a yes.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

железобетонное очко – "Anus of Concrete." Honorific given to drivers who, faced with sudden danger like
a huge truck coming head-on, remain calm, only saying "shoot" or "darn" quietly in the background,
and efficiently steer away from danger, displaying some seriously *expletive deleted*ing great driving skills.
