Top Gear finally found a good use for a Ford.

It will give you something else to think about during that next takeoff.

That was lovely. I want to see it throw one of those billboard trucks.

I always liked Texas A&M's trebuchet. Too bad they had to
waste a '59 Buick with it first.

"Whoa, crikey!"
......that doesn't huff quite as hard as my PT-51....it actually blows Mustangs right off the road.

Theres an old story in England about a road that runs behind where planes take off. Sometimes planes would blow cars off the road. Myth or fact? They tried this experiment on Mythbusters with a couple jet engines. After a couple minutes the car started to come apart but it didnt blow the car away. I guess these guys debunked Mythbusters.
-
hmmm no Robert the cars did in fact blow away..... some cars actually flew back about 100 or more yards... I saw the episode
-
Phil, you are incorrect. They used one car and it started to blow apart after a couple of minutes.

That MythBusters show is the best. I learn more from them then Jeopardy. Felt stupid when they proved that you get worse gas mileage with the tailgate down then up in a pickup. When I had a pickup I took the tailgate off to save gas mileage but must have added some on.

I used to leave my tailgate down when I'd go to the drags.
They say a toneau cover is the best for fuel economy though.
