    That is why we should fear the Chinese. They work hard, they don't give up, and they're **** ****.

    Seriously.. he had no problem sticking his head out into the cold, so it wasn't the wind blowing at him that was a problem. Why not just kick out the broken windshield and drive it without? And had he never heard of a hat and scarf?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Those Chinese are some really motivated people. If he had to stick his head out the window, whats the point of having the cardboard to block the wind?

    Wow, that's definitely a level of commitment/determination/drive that you don't see that often.

    As for why use the cardboard, though I question the effectiveness with his head outside in the cold, at least the rest of his body was a bit warmer. Also, if he wasn't able to kick out the windshield, perhaps the cardboard prevented shards of shattered windshield from flying into his face.
