That ain't shit, if you've heard the phrase "riding the rods" it's a reference to belting yourself to a moving train cars brake rods to sleep for the night.

I know there are more extreme things but if you're gonna say that someone riding 400 ks on a truck bed because of shenanigans is not shit, I'm gonna insist that you personally have done something more extreme.
