lol! I can see it now... Ice Road Truckers in Space.
Rick Yemm, "F*&^ Peice of $h1^, that deflector doesn't decelerate like it should. F*&^."
Hugh Rowland (The Polar Bear), "Well that's cuz you ride it hard, if you didn't it would work like it should", chuckles lightly.
Hugh turns to the camera and minces for a second. "These young guys just don't know $h1^, I've got over 20 years of experience that even Scotty couldn't touch!" The polar bear then laughs out load with a gaffaw as he steers his Star Fleet Long Range Hauler through uncharted space.
