Dude’s got to make an impression with his wheels

So this chap arrives at the signal driving a bulldozer. Not a regular bulldozer, mind you, but one with a crane attached. The folding arm with hook and cable sort of crane. Because the streets are infested with low hanging electric wires, he can’t drive with the crane arm over him. It’s folded up and extends a car’s length in front.

So now our man drives up to the signal and—in keeping with the spirit of Indian traffic—stops with inches spare between bumpers. With his crane hook dangling directly over the car driver’s seat. Imagine if the fellow had looked out his window and up.

I had a camera, but wish it were earlier in the day.

i once saw a video featuring the arm of the crane falling down from its max lenght on top of a ferrari. the ferrari became some sort of a thin plate. i never knew that the seats of the car were malleable and ductile b4 that ;)
