the auto wreaker business is probably a good career to get into. |

Why wear seat belts? The incident with the roll over is compelling. I doubt Russians of enough sense to wear them. |

Kind of reminds me of the carnival dodge-em cars. I suspect Vodka played a roll in the making of the video. |

My guess too. From what I`ve learned of the Russians here, Vodka is an essential part of nutrition....

I remember seeing a program about the Russian booze problem in the work place. There were more drunk than sober if I recall.

You'd think they'd drive better than that - Russians are always drunk. They should be used to it. When I was in the Air Force, the fighter pilots had a theory - the reason so many drivers had accidents when they were drunk was that they learned to drive sober, then couldn't adjust to being drunk - reaction time, etc. was all different. So they all decided to learn to fly drunk - much safer that way. That led to their one ironclad rule - no smoking within 24 hours of a flight, no drinking within 15 feet of an aircraft. I learned early that fighter pilots were the second craziest people in the military. I learned a little later that was the prime qualification for the job. Oh, you're wondering who're the craziest people in the military? Paratroopers. Anyone who jumps out of a perfectly good airplane is by definition crazy. Edited by Brewster, Mar 1 2013, 03:07 PM.
