Crazy white people drive across Congo, post travelogue and pictures for free! You don't even have to pay them to go! Speaking of which, <i>you literally could not pay me enough money to drive through Congo</i>. [quote]The first village we encountered seemed deserted at first, but as soon as we entered the village we saw people coming at us from all sides. They had machetes and sticks and were shouting. "Des Blancs. Argent!" - "White people. Money!". They were all over the place. This was not good! I floored it and sped out of the village. A rock hit the back of our car. What in gods name was that all about? Very few Congolese had made us feel welcome, but this was plain agression! It scared the hell out of us. We passed another village, and once again a mob formed as soon as they heard us coming. Machetes flying round, racist slogans shanted. Once again we did not give them the chance to get near us and blasted out of the village. They tried following us. This was turning ugly, if we would get stuck here we would be in big trouble, these people did not want a chat![/quote] Back to the two douches though, how does this not make them sound like utter retards?

"I didn't even know how a car worked until we decided to go on this trip," Brad says. ... After a few rough run ins with shady mechanics, Nacho was breaking down every 100 miles or so. The final straw came in Colombia when Nacho decided it needed a new transmission. Unfortunately, Colombia had just passed a law barring the importation of used auto parts, which meant the Van Ordens would have to find a "new" gearbox to bring into the country.[/quote] These people are asking for your money.[/quote]
