Can Your PT car do this?

To be honest that thing flys pretty well, maybe just a few more lbs on the nose. Pretty awsome. Dude has balls because those trees on either side of the road dont look like they would have moved had he hit them.

Uuuuh! Bad idea!
I saw a similar video when the driver lost control over his car.
The car flipped over and the driver was killed. :-(

The guys parents published the video on Television and Youtube to show how easily it can go wrong.

A kid got killed a grade above me doing the same thing. We called it Boner hill. They actually topped the hill a few years later to save all us dumb rednecks. I remember getting a run at it one Friday with a 16oz can of miller high life in the console. I was about half way up the hill and ran into a State Trooper. Luckily I was 17 and my parents were called to pick me and my car up. The good ol days. :lol:

Greg, head east out of Kingsgate (above Totem Lake) down the hill to the winery. Those train tracks at the bottom of the hill have been responsible for at least 3 broken rear axles on my own cars from the high school days.
The tracks there are a serious kind of "Dukes Of Hazzard" jump. And it used to be way worse back then.
Same thing with Madison Ave. in Seattle. Head down to the water front from Broadway at about 45-50 mph and jump off every intersection. (it is much safer at 3am LOL!!) That was the last ride for my buddies 79 rs Camaro DISCO SLED. We had to leave it in an alley near second ave and take a cab back to Redmond. I am lucky I am alive still now that I think about it.

Then there was the golf course in Redmond where the Town Center is now. Right about where Claim Jumper restaraunt is there was a green we used to jump at 60 mph in my old Honda Civic (1978 model:thumbsup: )
Now THAT WAS FUN!!!:rofl:

oh to be young!!!

Did not quite make it
 
Here is a similar incident, except this time they did not quite make it.

The footage was used by the government of Quebec to make a video to raise awareness of dangerous driving to young drivers.

Apparently, the young driver was attempting to get some air, with three buddies in the car. He could not get enough speed up so he attempted it solo. The video was made public in an attempt to dissuade other Jack Ass emulators from doing the same.

Yep -- Buried 2 here from Eastside Catholic HS trying to emulate this stuff...

Trees are pretty solid - immovable really - when they're up against a lousy little car.

Like I used to tell my #1 son - stuff like this is a total friggin' blast..... until you get hurt.

We've all done this kind of stuff. Me included. Not exactly the same - but cornering - dead mans curve - etc... and yeah - it's funny as he ll but now I see the internet as "encouragement" for far too many to try it - and other things - and the results aren't always so funny.

Being a pyro - I've got all kinds of videos of "how not to do it".... some are really really amazingly "daring" but are the dumbest things I've ever seen people do.
