I saw a thing on the Discovery Channel about the Death Road of Bolivia. That's some crazy s*** man.

I've seen some of those before... but not the Sybirian mud road. How did any of those cars even make it as far as they did and why try? I see mud like that and I give up before even trying.

I forget which cities it connects, but that's the only road between them. The Bolivian Government is working (for like, 30 years now I think) on a new safer road but it's still a ways off.

It's not a matter of courage, it's a necessity. I guess that in some parts the road is only 10ft. wide with a rock wall on one side and a sheer 2000ft. drop on the other.

come-on now, there have to be a few streets in some dark ghettos that are more dangerous. you know the ones where you don't even stop for fear of being jacked.

I actually drove on #5 a few times. It's dangerious, yes, and lots of imprezas and civics has died there.

It is a blast to drive though, and the views are amazing.
