This has to go under the "What the HELL were you thinking" category.

Cool video but I can't believe they spent $1M on that jump. Common sense and simple physics could tell you that a jump like that is impossible. The aerodynamics of a Lincoln Continental are horrible and I'm pretty sure they didn't consider weight transfer. I LOL'd at those wings on the doors. WTF are those going to do? The wings have to be MUCH longer to be effective. Let's just say the car did make it to the other side. What does the "landing strip" look like? There is no way to determine where that car could have landed. The landing area would have to be a mile wide, lol.

I think the shute went off when the car got ripped to shreads......

This is probably why Nasa doesnt build the space shuttle in the shape of a Lincoln.
