Great stuff - some real bright sparks there.

I'm sure everyone remembers the infamous Snow Tow - still makes me laugh:

I wonder if they did that on purpose? It looked like it had damage before they pulled it out.

Agreed - maybe they did it wrong the first time and then thought - hey, let's get a video of us doing it. Because the damage that it already had looks consistent with the new damage
