"I Will Not Be Beaten by a Dog!"

05. August, 2008 | by John Moroney

I have never understood how it’s possible to watch an entire hour-long television show (the world is a very busy place) but I found myself doing just that today. Top Gear is one of my favorite shows on the planet and, like me, they venerate the Toyota truck. This time, though, they did something really special: they raced a dog team to the North Pole in one.

Wow! This is truly one for the car geeks, and it’s really an incredible testament to the amazing capability and durability of one of the finest machines on the planet.

And holy crap, check out our Chalet Paris 1980 headlines! Damn, it feels good to be a geek!
