From Russia With Gloves

As Fred Thompson famously reminded us in The Hunt for Red October; Russians don’t take a dump without a plan (or something like that).  Clearly, he wasn’t hanging out with these Russians.

Unique vehicles, wild and crazy Eastern Bloc soundtrack, indecipherable subtitles and credits, and quality snow event action.  3.5 stars!

Enjoy.

This is pretty remedial for anyone reading here, but this article is worth a post and a shout out, simply due to the source.  Further proof that Lifehacker has something for everyone – even a great photo of Lego Indiana Jones.

Not exactly an auto-related site, but this article is a good reminder of the basics.  Especially appropriate during the current snowstorm in CO.

If your kids aren’t as excited about off-roading as you would like, you can always show them this rig.  Quite the combination of childhood memories and off-road capabilities.

Depending on the kid, this could cause either great glee or nightmares.

Go Ford!
