Thanks,

It's a RealPlayer file and it has to be streamed so you may not download it to your machine.

These guys apparently had nothing better to do!It's hard to believe it would survive, but I knew the old trucks were tough. Great video, if you can check it out. Darl

I heard they were going to use a 6.0 Ford but couldn't find one that started.

for those that can't see it, they:
drove it down stairs,
rubbed the sides on brick walls,
rammed a tree,
tethered it to a boatramp and let the tide come in,
dropped it,
drove it through a shed,
dropped a travel trailer on it,
hit it with a wrecking ball'
burned it,
and tethered it to the roof of a 23 story building being demolished.

actually it is pretty funny...

even after downloading realplayer i still couldnt view it but after reading Westcoaster's description

we have an old mid 90's nissan pickup at work like this. Poor thing has been run into a 8" diameter chainlink post at 45mph, has taught more than 20 people how to drive stick, has served as a mudbogger/traffic cone truck/tow truck/garbage truck/hill jumper for the past 5 years.

like them or not, they are some tough little rigs
