May this hopelessly buried excavator operator refusing to quit digging be your spirit animal in the New Year
Some might look at this video and say, “What’s this guy doing? He’s only making it worse.” And those people would be correct. However, those people are taking a decidedly glass-half-empty approach on life and as we embark on this New Year, there’s simply no time for that type of doom and gloom mindset. On the contrary, […]

2015 Ford F-150 VelociRaptor boosts 5L V8 to 600+ hp; more muscle than mudder (PHOTOS)
