Driving in Russia

This has to be the best compilation video i've ever seen but it also has some of the craziest moments that i've ever come across.

Driving in Russia - YouTube

(I found the parts at 4:18-4:25 are particularly surprising and 10:08...kinda clever

I thought 4:25 was the best (also the chopper at the beginning) but then around 6:40 there's a truck TOWING A TANK.

4:08. Looks like it drove up a cable or something.

A 123 @ 0:41

It looks like a 123 at about 40 seconds pulling a trailer with #@%^ flying off of it. Does anyone know if this was sponsored by Stoli Vodka?

I think "Standard" Vodka from Leningrad is better. The best you can get.

When driving in Spain in the seventies there were a lot of fender benders. It seemed to me as if people had not been driving cars much there until just then and so a lot of them didn't drive all that well.

Maybe the same in
Russia.....of courst the vodka probably plays a part too.

I was watching this and laughing so hard i was crying. the mrs was watching tv....she said "what are you laughing so loud at?" I said you gotta see this. She came over and soon we both were laughing equally hard!

Great stuff.
