That explains the sparks from the bumper, and the front wheels of the 2nd lifting until the 5th wheel cleared. The 3rd one looked long enough to either drown engine, or loose drive contact. I'd be worried there is a set path to get to shore once you're off. Sure not getting back on the way you came off. Jerry
another fine display of the superiority of electric vehicles. i really like the authentic engine noise that these models broadcast thru their speaker system.
Holy Effin' Shit! It's a wonder they could drive with the extra weight of those Big Brass Ones clanging in the cab. Also surprised that the pin on the second tractor-trailer didn't pop out and the trailer float away. Give those men hazardous danger pay and a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card - each.
Not sure I'd have wanted to drive the 'first' truck that tried that...
ReplyDeleteI want to know how they get those trucks back on the barge....

Watching the first one drive into the water, I thought they were bugf**k nutz. After seeing it drive off, I *KNOW* they're bugf**k nutz!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about where the fuel tanks were located, and water getting into the diesel.

Outcome much different than I expected.

ReplyDeleteImpressive. Tough environments make for tough people, I suppose.

I've felt that sensation, fording a river in West Germany in 1971 in an APC, floating!
