How cool is it to have job where you crash remote controlled cars into concrete barriers at 70 mph? Just for kicks. Color me green with envy.

THREAD HIJACK: I'm so bummed Mythbusters is ending next year, I really enjoy it! That said, they are going out with a bang... remember the cement truck?


That was 850lbs of ANFO. For the final season, they'll be blowing up another cement truck... only this time they're going to use a bit more ANFO... 9150lbs more...
