Only in Canada, an Ice Truck!

Take one 2005 Chevy Silverado, remove the body, add 14,000 lbs of ice, and you have the Ice Truck!

Only in Canada........

Only in Canada indeed, on my way to work a few weeks ago (at around -25 degrees Celsius) I drove next to an air conditioning truck...

I have to give the guy some credit for having a Canadian Tire car though!

This is just a little more proof that extreme cold and lack of sunshine makes people a bit loopy!

That's cool. Add some sawdust and it ice is pretty tough. They built a boat out of it at one point.
