      Dear @@fittermat
      Ah, okay, I understand! Therefore it was absolutely necessary to damage the GAZ even more. I tell you what: I should already have stopped this video after the dumb one spilled so much Diesel fuel so that the Diesel can soak into the ground and get into the groundwater later. Well done, guys, well done indeed! Maybe you have forgotten that we all are responsible for what we say/write/do, especially if we do it in public! Does no one of you have kids or grandchildren? You are really fine role models for them. Congrats!
      Best regards, luck, health and wisdom to all of you.
