Clearly someone has played way too much Forza Horizon 3.

Watch the video!
I suspect vehicular suicide was the driver’s intent.
Wouldn’t surprise me if alcohol were involved.
Just a good ol’ boy, never meanin no harm...
There was no damage to any of the rail cars or the track.
Jake: Car’s got a lot of pickup.
Elwood: It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
"....it'll be a few weeks, but we'll buff it out"
A hundred miles an hour down a dead end street,
launched up an embankment, where the freight trains meet.
Sailing through night air like an eagle’s bliss,
thinking, “Hold my beer. Now watch this.”
Did the audio pick up anyone saying “Watch this” right before the car became airborne?
Evel Knievil’s retarded cousin Awful Knawful
My wife and mother were riding with me through east Colorado in our Subaru at night. We had come to this tiny town in which we were to apparently turn left, but I continued to keep going straight for the next block. There was no stop sign, so I kept going at 25 MPH on the pitch black street. Suddenly, we were completely airborne, having hit the incredibly sharp crown of an east-west street (we were heading north). The car sailed for at least three seconds before coming back down between parked cars on either immediate side.
I stopped the car and we got out to see what had just happened and to assess any damage.
I have never experienced anything like that before in my life, but I can attest to leaping a good 10-15 vertical feet from a “slow” moving car.
That’s a Dukes Of Hazard move. Does the horn on that Monte Carlo play “Dixie?”
He blew through a ‘T’ intersection.
I wouldn’t call it a dead end street,
because, well, you can turn left or right.

Disappointed there was no Dixie horn.
As I recall, the Duke boys did something like that at least once an episode every week. What’s the big deal?
