When a semi-trailer truck carrying a rig filled with toilet paper crashes into a bridge, what happens? A giant mess. A giant mess that someone has to clean up. This timelapse shows a city clean up crew picking up all the crap, repackaging it for another truck and getting the streets clean so that no one would know what’s going on. This is six and a half hours of work shrunken down to two minutes. It’s kind of like seeing SimCity characters go to work, only they’re real people.

What is this? A flying drone? Eight flying drones? One flying helicopter? A moving room? A truck? It’s a little bit of everything. Called the AT Black Knight Transformer, it combines the vertical takeoff and landing of a helicopter with the off-road driving capabilities of a truck. So yes, that means it can fly and drive. Oh and it’s a drone.

If you are worried about the inevitable zombie invasion – and who isn’t – you might want to check out this Chevy Silverado on display at the State Fair of Texas. This ‘Black Ops Concept’ is apocalypse ready. Chevy design manager Dave Ross calls it “a survival kit on four wheels.”
The Black Ops features a raised suspension and body armor to help it traverse the toughest terrain that the post-apocalyptic wasteland has to offer. In the bed is a zombie-proof Truck Vault storage unit. Inside of this is a solar power pack, gas masks, gloves, a military first aid kit, a folding shovel, and a rope. On top of the storage locker are a generator, fuel can, and food and water rations.
It has everything you need to survive hordes of zombies and keep going. I hope it becomes a reality before the undead show up.

Ice cream trucks are awesome. Any van or truck that comes into your neighborhood and delivers treats is okay with me. You know what is even better? An ice cream truck that can crawl over other cars to get to you.
When this beast comes to your neighborhood, you and your kids will need a ladder just to grab your ice cream and pay the guy. This huge truck is was used in a Škoda car commercial and they claim that it is the world’s biggest ice cream van. It was built to mark the launch of the souped-up new Octavia vRS.
This 5.5-ton vehicle comes with five-foot-tall monster truck wheels and four mega speakers. If you are in the UK you can actually see it in person since it will be touring the UK to hand out free ice cream treats to kids. Too bad we don’t have one delivering Good Humor bars in the U.S.
