These guys prove my theory that innovation comes alcohol and boredom.
My pet theory is that because there's so little decent weather up north (they're in Iceland) that they get bored and come up with the biggest bang for the buck (meaning best use of limited good weather).... and this is the natural result of that bored.... they'd never come up with this in California because it's just too nice of weather ;)

the biggest bang for the buck (meaning best use of limited good weather)

Iceland Air was running a deal a couple years ago out of Boston where you could fly to Reijkevik (spelling!?) and stay for the weekend for 300 bucks.

A friend used that as a bachelor party. It was f'n awesome. No racing, nothing about cars, but the city is awesome, they party like loons, and six foot tall blonde chicks roam free range.

If I lived there I'd pray for horrible weather every day to be "stuck" with an Icelandic chick. (If I were not married to a wonderful woman already...have to add that right?)

:D

Those trucks/jeeps are powered by 800 Hp engines also.....with about a 400 shot of nitrous that they spray almost continually up the hill.....

Simply Awesome.

Not to mention they can drive on water..
