Why are Australians so goddamn crazy? Listen to how calm these two Aussies sound while they accidentally drive towards last week's tornado, then calmly try to outrun it (initially in reverse!):
(I'd have warned you that the language is NSFW, but I'm not sure "fack" officially qualifies as a curse.)
Perhaps the reason Australians are such a hardy, unflappable lot is because the country's so rugged. I was reminded of this when I recently watched this brief clip of a Mercedes G-Wagen that has been modified and ruggedized for the Australian Defence Force:
Last year, we looked at a different G-Wagen, the one driven 500,000-plus miles by Gunther Holtorf on his famous never-ending roadtrip. Now the G-Wagen is back in the news, as Mercedes has taken the Australian military model and tweaked it even further.The G63 AMG 6x6, as its name suggests, is a freaking six-wheel-drive supertruck that came out of Mercedes' Affalterbach skunkworks. This month they pulled the sheets off of two versions in Dubai, presumably to gauge interest.
Sure, they make the truck look impressive in that Michael Bay way. But what I really want to see (and hear) is the two blokes from the first video driving this thing around.
