I wonder if they use harnessed mini-yetis to scrape all the snow and ice from the cars while in motion, which would in itself create another first: the mini-yeti in-motion car scraping championship! And the pirate who's gold is the prize happens to be the presenter in Vladivostok. You'd be surprised what a new eye-patch and a thorough wax job can do for the few-toothed and peg-legged. Only in the new wild west.

And there's me getting car-sick after a two-hour drive...

I wish this were televised, a la Dakar.

In Soviet Russia, gold pounds you.

That much gold is $138,932.00 (USD), approximately...does that sound right? Seems kind of low for something like a race across Russia. But I don't know if 3,846,704.90 Russian roubles is a lot of money or if that is a correct calculation/conversion.
