  1. Everything I saw was crazy terrible.

    But...

    i drive this roads for last 18 years.

    I saw some exidents of course but can't say it's going on every minute/hour/day.

    I can remember only 2-3 moments what happened before my eyes. The rests of many others were seen though.

    If you looked the movie well, you could note some of ephisodes were fixed ouside Russia.

    Roots of the problem: thin 2 way roads including most interstate roads. With high increased traffic for last 20 years.

    Most country's territory have 6+ monthes winter conditions.

    Some people still driving drunk.

    By the word - a punishment for ANY alcohol in blood - 2 years licence off.

    In real police takes black money. But the tax starts from $1000 equivalent. It's not a little bucks overhere! As for me I NEVER do it.

    Ending up - the movie is the compilation of MOST terror road excidents. For about 2-3 last years. Of course there are only crashes that fixed by dash cams. So you can multiply on 3.

    My pair of cents - here are pics from this past winter trip. All this was seemed by me in Germany. During 200 km. I covered 800 that day.

  2. An FWD, for the un-initiated, is an option Mack owners can rely upon when they get their Mack stuck in the mud.......

    Quick story. Many of you know that the FWD was delivered new to my VFD, where my father has been, still is an active member. He was 19 when it was delivered new, and is the truck he learned to drive and pump on. Well, sometime in the late 60's, early 70's, our neighboring company sank their 48 L Mack pumper to the running boards in the mud at a field fire. They called upon my father (who also did towing/recoveries at the time) to see what he could do- he was at the fire with the FWD (not stuck, of course.) He hooked onto the tow eyes of the L-Mack with the FWD, locked the center differential, put it in first, and the rest was history, The Driver of the L-Mack was D.C. Sr.

    Fast forward to 2002. They still had (and still do have) that L Mack. We were at a muster at Cooper River Park in Camden NJ. The driver of the L Mack got it stuck in the mud by the river bank after pumping for a few hours. Said driver called upon ME to help out....hooked a chain to the front tow hooks of the L Mack to my front tow hooks, locked the center differential, put her in reverse and the rest was history!!! The driver of the L Mack: D.C. Jr!!!!!

  3. i bought a b61sx as a spare truck.i needed the fenders and some more sheetmetal.
