  • Who knew you could fix a radiator with an egg! Whats your bush mechanic hack?
  • I find the narrated commentary grossly overdramatic. A leaking tire, or a delay from some other reason, is usually a normal part of the business of trucking, and rarely an extreme crisis.
  • Just so you all know, dont put eggs in your radiator unless youre prepared to replace everything in your cooling system but the engine block. Thats not meant to be your first option, its the last.
  • This reminds me... I've gotta rewatch the classic comedy "Bush Mechanics" God damn that show was hilarious. Especially hits when you've spent a lot of time with black fellas who live on country. As I have. If you've never seen it, it's a must watch piece of Australian culture.
