I love how the horse at the :31 mark is actually using the crosswalk, as though he knows that where to cross the street.

God bless Russia and their driving paranoia, for putting cameras in most cars.

I feel the pain of the ambulance operator - people CANNOT drive when an ambulance comes through. I can't even begin to count how many people react by slamming on their brakes, making me have to dodge them at the last second, instead of them pulling over like they're supposed to. Although that guy was going WAY too damn fast in such close quarters.

I'd hate to own an insurance company in Russia. 

Are insurance companies the reason that so many cars have dashboard cams?

 :o

why were we scared of these people during the Cold War?  granted they had 30000 tanks but I dont see them being able to not drive into each other.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Ha, I think one of those Russian driving videos has a dude plowing an armored car into a light post in an intersection somewhere.

But with 30000 tanks, one or two are bound to get it right if they're all charging in at once.

I was referring to *them* driving like maniacs, you ninny.  (I know a couple other native Floridians, and they both have a few "bad retiree driver" stories.)  :P

I think the MiG (or whatever that blur was) flying along the road at what, 50 feet or so, was frigging awesome. The helicopter was too, but talk about a pants-crapping moment to have that thing streak by like that.
