I think I would rather be a roadie for Kiss than kill myself for DeBeers...
blood diamonds do not come from Canada they come from Angola and Sierra |

I watched this show and I liked it a lot.
I drove in subzero temperatures on snow all the time, but never on ice!
ice scares me.
respect to these drivers and to anyone brave enough to venture those runs. |

For God sake... kill your television!! People shouldnt watch these brain-dead shows if they take them too seriously... "If I drive a big truck over iced lakes or hunt for crabs in the freezing temps I'll make the "big bucks" quickly and without much effort." Or if I buy a store-bought "chopper" from a fake, annoying, father/son duo I'll be popular, get the chicks, and be "in."
Some people shouldnt breed. :roll: |

I just like watching it because of the interesting loads... I'll probably never get the chance to haul anything like that...
The cold doesn't really impress me as I drive in the same stuff all winter, same with the snow and the quality roads.... Only thing I don't do is drive over water, which honestly wouldn't bother me very much... Though Wildkat's pictures of the ice melting and driving through puddles over a river I think might freak me out a bit, not being able to see what you're driving into and all... |
