Having lived in the Great State of Texas, just an observer, I make no claims.
Attempting a stunt, such this, on Memorial Day weekend 2:30 AM, they should be considered as Texans.
The vehicle became airborne
= = = = = = = = = =
Definitely a ‘play on words’ when ‘they’ are describing airborne, the vehicle actually had left the supporting safety of a solid surface, BUT in a sense it was ‘airborne’ while plummeting to water(even Superman had enough sense to not hit the water at warp speed) and then sinking like a rock.
Remember, it ain’t the fall that ‘hurts’ you, it is the sudden stop...
More evidence TV is bad for your brain
Very TRUE!
I could babble on at length, how ‘TV people’, exist in a separate reality from the rest of us.
And they are allowed to vote.
Well… What do you think Billy Ray…?
… Oh hell yes Bubba… Go for it!
Lol
The scary part of this is I ACTUALLY THOUGHT for a second “that gate should be locked in place” because media can get to anyone after a while.
I quickly came to my senses and thought we dont need MORE govt intervention to prove we cant make the most basic judgements without the govt’s help.
Sherrif Roscoe P. Coletrane said “We were right behind them boys when it happened. I couldn’t believe it, they clear that jump every time and we’re just stuck watching them but this time it didn’t work out.”

Loved that jump in SPEED .funny u should mention.
I bought the DVD to show that to friends/family cuz I worked near where that freeway gap was located during filming.
just a few seconds after the jump you can see the building i worked in on Imperial Blvd near LAX
They are wetbacks now
Alejandro Cazares and Roberto Alejandro Moreno — just doin’ the jumpin’ Americans won’t do. RIP
“WOOOOOOO.....
It works in the movies...but not in real life?? Last time I did something like that I was 14 and tried to do an Evel Knievel trick with my 125 Honda. Broke my arm...never again...
Nah - The Duke Boys were from Georgia. :)
Gene pool self regulates ...

What a great idea!
Airbags on the outside of the car!
That is a GREAT picture explaining what these poor departed yahoos saw and did.
It doesn’t LOOK that steep. You can see the gate and how yahoo 2 raised and then GOT BACK IN THE CAR after it passed by.
Throw it in reverse for some additiinal distance, gun it and YEEEEHAAAAWWW!
What could go wrong?
>>Once a mojado, always a mojado.<<
Well in this case they ended up as mojitos.
Only if they haven’t reproduced. The younger one maybe, the 32-year old probably has kids.
Well, this was NOT a model made before catalytic converters...
