5	* AnnouncerChatter: 'Army' Armstrong, who narrates everything from trucks jockeying for position to spectacular crashes to insane jumps. His narration often crosses into LargeHamAnnouncer territory:
6	** ''(Truck goes off-track or crashes through barrier)'' '''GRAVE DIGGER''' ''is looking for a detour!''
7	** ''(Player truck starts leaning on two wheels)'' '''''Lean''''' into it!
8	** ''(Truck starts driving on water)'' '''MONSTER PATROL''' is ''walkin' on water!''
9	* ConvectionSchmonvection: The only thing driving across magma fields or the lava-filled insides of a volcano does to your truck is slow it down like it was on dirt.
10	* MadLibsDialogue: 'Army' Armstrong's AnnouncerChatter is assembled from smaller voice clips.
