An early reminder to get my new winter tires from Bob in a couple of months. Also, I would like to turn this video into a screensaver.

wow, but seriously the parking brake is not even engaged on those vehicles... wheels are rolling smoothly.

Anyone else see that minivan/dumptruck looking thing?

Hey guys, I'll be right back. I'm just going to go outside in this storm and stand on that icy ladder and take some video of these cars sliding around on my cell phone.

In mother Russia: Excessive vodka consumption makes for some bad decisions on securing vehicles on a sea vessel

A total of 64 cars were aboard cargo ship Astongate traveling from Toyama, Japan, to Vladivostok, Russia. After the storm hit the ship -- 52 of them ended up at the bottom of the sea. ****Whoever bought those cars signed a document allowing the cargo to be transported on ship's deck at their own risk.****

Shitty deal. When I went to Kyrgyzstan last year, almost every car there was a Japanese import. They have no own dealerships or service network, so they import them from Japan like crazy. Jamaica imports a ton of Japanese cars as well. In addition to all of this, owning a vehicle in Japan that is older than 5 years old gets expensive fast, as the mandatory inspections get more expensive the older the vehicle gets, so most people dump their cars and get new ones.

I would love to get me one of those small ass pickup trucks just for kicks, a few of them around town
