IRT: Deadliest Roads

Stig, episode 8 would have brought back many mook memories from Korea.

One of the truckers is taking her truck over a bridge that was only made for one vehicle. A mook sees her truck coming and decides he will head towards her ... on the bridge. Surprise, surprise, his side mirror ends up mangled and of course he is blaming it all on the foreign trucker.

He tried milking money out of her for the damage. She turned it around and said she wanted money for the scratch on her truck. He tried being indignant. She left paying him nothing.

Fucking mooks.

Damn ... different country same lame ass excuses.

When the "foreign" truckers scuff another vehicle, usually the green buses driven by mega-mooks, they have to pay. When it is reversed it is a "misunderstanding". Reminds me of South Korea.

In episode 7 Rick is parked and a bus scrapes him. they track the bus driver down and he runs crying to the police. What do the police do? Send him off, and keep the foreign truckers saying it was all a misunderstanding. What the kimchi?!?!?

Definitely reminds me of one of the Koreans favourite excuses.

IRT: Deadliest Roads

I started watching Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads over the holidays. The Ice Road part is misleading as it is taking place in India. near the borer with Tibet and into the Himalayas.

Jesus H. Mother Fing Christ! I would NEVER go on those roads. Height and crapiness aside the drivers. They make the Shanghai taxi drivers look sane!!!! I find myself cringing from the heights at times and other times from the assholes on the road.

Interesting show.

Ice Road Truckers

Ice Road Truckers has started a 4th season! I am happily surprised. During the early spring I checked to see if there would be a 4th season and saw nothing about it. Although there was something about the rights being bought to make a movie!?!

Ice Road Truckers is one of my guilty pleasures. Without the swearing, Hugh reminds me of my dad. As I mentioned on What the Kimchi? my dad was a trucker and I could easily see him heading north for the ice roads.

Me? I wouldn't have the stones to do it.
