    I hardly ever see a pickup. I know there are some market vendors here who use one to pull their market booths.

    It's not 10 weeks, more something like 6 weeks. But we do have very good and cheap healthcare, like every even remotely civilized country has. Everybody must be insured, it will cost you about $140 per month, the rest is subsidized by the government. And yet, per capita, we pay $ 6350, and in the US you pay $ 11,000. A well known person would say you have a bad deal!

    That's nothing.

    Meet the Lava Storm:

    With the snow plough it removes most of the snow, then with the rotating brush the rest, and then with high pressure hot liquid it removes the remaining ice. The weight of this truck will be something like 80,000 to 86,000 lbs.

    No, they are used on the highways.

    These trucks are used on the airport:
