    David Letterman did this years ago, bet a cabbie that he couldn't be in the far right lane (by Central Park, with 8 - 10 lanes of traffic) and jump the light with a left turn across ALL the lanes. He did it the first time. It was so beautiful, I almost wept. #russia

    Oh yeah, I read this in the newspaper.
    The point of the game is to go really fast (sometimes even top speed) through a red light, and if you don't kill yourself, hit a pedestrian, or any other car(or object) you get up to 10 grand.
    Appearantly, the faster they go, the more money they get. I heard that one dude went 200km/h in an Escalade. #russia

    On the plus side, you can make some decent money camping busy intersections and collecting the floating green icons that pop up. Just make sure to have your bat handy in case the accident didn't finish them off. #russia

    "You just ran a red light!"
    "Yes, I am Bulgarian, that is how we drive!"
    "Then why are you stopped at the green?"
    "Might be Bulgarians coming through."

    @Estonia: Actually, the ZIS and ZIL 150-series trucks were pretty much a straight copy of the larger International K-series truck built during the 1940s - plenty of which were used in Europe during World War II.

    Pretty badass truck that was in production for a very long time. Wonder what thoughts when through the stylists' heads when they designed that grille? "No western decadence for us - let's make it as ugly and menacing as possible".

    However, when the zombie hordes come invading, this amphibious ZIL 4096 might be the best way to get your family to safety. After all, I don't think zombies can swim yet.

    On a time wasting expedition catalyzed by the NHTSA crash test story of a couple of days ago I dug around on the GSAAuctions.gov and came across this beauty for….. $50. Sure it does run and it’s in Arkansas or somewhere else far away but so awesome nonetheless. The GSA site is down but here's a pic of the same rig, m656 I believe.

    @Fletch Lives: Update - GSA site is back up and the price for the m656 is up to 1600 bucks. Now perhaps not such a good deal for an 'inoperable' vehicle - but the bed is chock full of tires.
