Them Duke boys were at it again on Saturday…
At the Somernites Cruise festival in Somerset, KY, one brave stunt driver by the name of Raymond Kohn hopped in a General Lee replica and jumped 150 feet over/through the town’s Fountain Square. It’s a video you have to see to believe — and people on social media were posting it from every possible angle.
With thousands upon thousands in attendance for the 25th annual Somernites Cruise, known as the official car cruise capital of Kentucky, the “Dukes of Hazzard”-inspired 1969 Dodge Charger flew off the ramp, barrelled through the fountain’s bright blue water, and successfully (for the most part, at least) landed the vehicle on the other side.
The General Lee suffered some bumps and bruises on the way down, but the man inside came out of it just fine.

No Dixie horn?
Uh, that’s a little more than bumps and bruises where I come from:

It’s awright. Just put a little Bondo on it and give it a good sanding.
So just one step past “That’ll buff right out”?
LOL
‘Just some good ‘ol boys,
Never meaning no harm...
Awesome. Glad they didn’t puss out and put the battle flag on the roof like its supposed to be.
Doesn’t take much to draw a crowd in Somerset.
Or hang a noose to the rear view mirror?
And I guess they could not figure out how to throw a one more time white flag.
tellyouwhut!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAW
RLTW
This has what to do with the TV show psycho?
What a waste!
🎶Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the Law (of Gravity)
Since the day he was born…
Flyin’ through spaaace
The only way he knows how
An’ that’s just a leeetle bit more
Than the Law will allow…🎶
Oh, no. Found a pic where it landed on its front right tire. Why no ramp for the landing?
Now I understand why Kentuckians vote the way they do.
Agreed. When I saw they assembled an audience at the end of the run, where they would get shredded it the car went into a tumble and flipped over the low barricade, I just shook my head.
