Did better than Evel without a rocket.

I just saw that on one of the news sites. I have to admit, pretty impressive....

 

Now that's full send.

 

.

 

Sad he passed... had he lived he would have achieved instant legend status.

 

Too bad there was no one to hold his beer first.

Waiting for widow to sue Mercedes for not making the car safe enough.

 

typical media... police he went 337 feet... media he went some 400 feet. very glad that he was the only person involved in this.

 

He damn sure gets an honorable mention in my book.

 

BS!! Fake news! No one is able to achieve those speeds in California with all their traffic.

 

From the article is sounds like someone held his meth pipe.

 

In the comments section "The NHTSA will now require parachutes for all car occupants".

If they don't California will.

 

This looks more like Thelma and Louise than a Evel Knievel situation.

 

I was thinking maybe he was trying to recreate a Dukes of Hazzard moment.

 

Reports from witnesses as the scene indicate the driver "hit that dixie horn and gave it one helluva "YEEEEEE HAAAAWWW" before "he yeeted that whip into the muhfuggin stratosphere."

 

“Like at 100 miles per hour, he cleared the whole damn river," Bryan Zollars told Fresno's KSEE-TV.

Quote of the Week right there.

 

Legit

 

I wonder what MB it was. Be cooler if it was a 300D Wagon running biodiesel.

 

I think they said he was doing 100 mph.

 

Crack...it's a hell of a drug.
