Remember that Tundra commercial pulling the space shuttle?

This isn't quite as impressive but I still thought it was interesting. This is from 2003. You'd think they would've had a newer rig to do this job.

I think it's inpressive. Of all the trucks they could have used to pull that old girl, they chose a 60-66 Chevy!
