A lot of unnecessary risk-taking. Plus, maybe some over-served-ness? |

The fly-overs, animals, and electrocution risks were my faves... Nutty stuff. |

Had a wild taxi ride in Russia this summer. 20 truck drivers in 5 taxis, the first 4 cabs were 2 Chevy Epica's & 2 Ford Mondeo's. We were racing through the Forest from the Ukraine border to Bryansk rarely under 100mph & bottoming out in the dips. They have a different philosophy to driving there |

Grumps, "philosophy" means "love of wisdom"... One of the better clips in the vid above shows two cars colliding, then the folks who caused the accident calmly grab their things, get out of the car, and just walk away.

oysht, that is a great drinking game everytime they say Yoeb (F#ck) or Blyadt (it is our C#nt - but more so) take a shot I had to stop at minute seven ! In Soviet Russia - the freeways were built as alternate landing strips - cars are mostly a new occurrence and the pilots are not happy to relinquish the roads to amateurs ! The marriage is at the end of the world - if there is no earth shattering kaboom, there is no marriage. The rule has always been, I would get married when Hell froze over, or the Earth Blew up. She has the same rule - it works; but only if it all goes to shiate. But if there is ever an end of the world kinda girl - she is it. Every Boris deserves such a Natasha |

I figured you'd pick up the choice cussin'... I'd forgotten about the Soviet dual-use roads... even if the motoring populace MIGHT expect the rare flyover, the poo-yer-pants factor GOTTA be high! The 'copter you might expect due to the impending rotor chop- but that jet, definitely would require new undies in the emergency kit... |
