Deca, I want you to know that I was 10 minutes late for work today because of this video. I only had about 5 minutes before I absolutely had to walk out the door, but in true procrastinating style, I decided to spend those 5 minutes in mindless indulgence. Most times people post video clips they're only a few minutes long anyway, right? So what's the harm, right? Started this one, quickly saw that it was 16 minutes and some change, but decided I'd start it anyway and just finish it when I got home from work. Only things didn't quite work out that way. I was hooked. I couldn't look away. I had to see how it ended. I found myself routing for the truck. Pure excellence. Thanks for posting it!
Best part? It was a really foggy day so my boss didn't even care that I was late. He just chalked it up to the fog.

LOL I gotta agree with Negs. After all was said and done, granted that the truck is one tough mutha, but I was left thinking "damn, I need a mechanic like that in my hometown."

I'm so glad that I drive a Toyota. I'm on my second Corolla, my first one went from 1981-1999 (RIP Zed), and had 240,000 miles on him before his engine finally froze up for the final time. After the hell I put that car through, I couldn't justify buying any other kind of car.

Watch it again, and pay attention to the things they said the mechanic had to do. On just one example, that mechanic flushed out an engine filled entirely with seawater and sand and got it started up without using ANY special flushing system, just basic metal tools. I may not know much about cars, but I don't care what kind of tough vehicle you got, THAT's freakin' Supermechanic to pull that off.

I really think that truck was possessed by Decavolt hmself and a few other demons to be able to take all that and still run..I mean i push my van to extream and just hold it togeather with bubble gum and spit but it would never take that and still run..even tho it looks nearly as bad as that smiles just loved that clip it really rocked
