Title: Horse fly? Check...House Fly? Check... but Impala fly(ing)?
Post by: LowThudd on May 01, 2013, 07:05:04 PM
Mythbusters is once again attempting to make a JATO rocket powered Impala fly. Best attempt yet in this 10 year anniversary, and it DID finally get some air! Deffinatley worth checking out this season opener if you haven't yet.  [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [bow_down] [thumbsup]

Channel surfing last night and I caught part of that.  I kept going and then forgot to go back to see what happened.  Damn.

I knew it would end up similar to the way it did. Hitting the ramp at those speeds loads the rear suspension and then the thing just flips...

This last episode they "Rode" a motorcycle on water. Jaimey actually got the dirtbike to go 300 feet 'skimming' across the lake before he just couldn't keep his speed up. I'm thinking maybe with sand paddles he could have gone further?

Saw Travis ride across about a 30' pool on a dirtbike last night on his show.  Looked to be going about 60mph wearing shorts, sneakers and an open faced helmet.  That boy ain't right.
