I've read and seen pictures of similr things done in russia and ukraine, but never seen a video. However, they are not the first ones... check out this army video from the 1950's - http://youtube.com/watch?v=fv2kgsf0l-A
looks cool, but I wouldn't do it to my vehicle unless I had no other choice... since obviously even if you don't kill it the maintenance will be extensive to say the least...
