The hosts at autoblog.com recently got the chance to check off an item off of their list of 1,000 Car Things to Do Before You Die, and that is to drive heavy equipment at Dig This, the Las Vegas Construction Equipment sandbox where “everyone from 8-108 can play.”

The hosts at autoblog.com recently got the chance to check off an item off of their list of 1,000 Car Things to Do Before You Die, and that is to drive heavy equipment at Dig This, the Las Vegas Construction Equipment sandbox where “everyone from 8-108 can play.”

"Who wouldn't be excited about driving ginormous machinery that can push thousands of pounds of dirt and take you back to your childhood," said host Jessi Combs. "Of course I'm excited!"

These heavy-duty bulldozers and excavators were designed for work, but that didn't stop Jessi and co-host Patrick McIntyre from having plenty of fun. Watch as the hosts face off in a game of construction equipment basketball, then see who can build the larger dirt pile and balance their bulldozer on top.
