Well, I’ve seen some pretty bad ass driving in my life, and I don’t think I’m all that bad myself – but here’s a guy who can take like a 10 ton piece of heavy equipment and rock it onto two wheels and drive back and forth!
I don’t know what they pay this guy to operate that thing while he’s working, but clearly he’s worth every penny!

Now This is How to Tow a Car!
I didn’t even know machines like this exist, but apparently there are tow trucks that literally just pick cars up and put them on the back of a flatbed before driving them off to tow truck hell (or wherever they go).
Thanks to Karen R. for pointing out these crazy towing videos, and also to Bert...
Amazing Motorcycle Recoveries! (Almost, But Not Quite An Accident!)
Ok, the guys in these videos were either amazingly talented riders, or amazingly lucky! Either way, it’s very cool to watch!
What we have here is a series of clips in which motorcycle riders almost lose it but manage to hang on. Some nearly flip their bike over backwards, others nearly fly off the...

How the hell does he do that?
That was totally awesome!! Love it! :) I like the way he only uses the bucket for counter weight balance – he never actually touches it to the ground at all. Very cool.
Have you seen vids of school bus races? Those crack me up!!
You know, our tour bus driver when my daughter and I went to to DC this last May was super impressive – in a busy, congested DC street – he parallel parked that bus!! I was floored! Compact cars give me trouble and he’s doing it no problem with a tour bus! He had some other impressive maneuvers, but, I can’t totally remember them. I should’ve blogged them when I got home right away!
That has to be one of the coolest displays of driving I have ever seen.
I used to work in a manufacturing plant where the tow motor drivers would slide them around corners all day long. I am not sure I want to be on a worksite he is working on but it was cool to watch on a video.
