Exclamation its a bird, its a plane, no its super 7!!!!!

haha damn tonight i went out with some friends to a plce where they were jumpin there dinky rav 4 for fun.... out at some roads wiht carzy big dips................... anywho they kept asking me if i would do it ... so i finally gave in...

damn i was crazy the 50/50 weight balance and nice suspension worked rediculuslly well..... my friends lil SUV barley flew 25 feet and a foot high..... at about 60 ( this was as fats as he could go b4 hed could barely remain in control

i started of at his speed and got about the same..but my ***** grew and after the 3rd try i went 90mph and flew about 6 car lengths and about 4 feet high... do to the way the jumps take off and landing there was barley any heavy pressure put on the car.... but we looking to get it filmed or a pic of it soon so i can show yall haha

yeah, i bet you'll catch a lot of **** from some people on this one. I used to jump my 65 ford falcon, so I can relate. It was a piece of crap that I didnt care about, but looking back it was pretty dangerous. Now 90mph, I never went that big.

Dude he lives in Tucson. In addition to sex and getting waisted the only onther thing is to jump your car out by the mines. I know, I lived there for 22 years!

i jump my p71 crown vic all the time.

the only damage that ever occurs is tearing the exhaust off every once in a while.

ex-police car = indestructable.

If it weren't so common, killing yourself by jumping your car would gather a Darwin award.

If you must ruin a car while performing highly dangerous stunts with no safety equipment, please don't make it an Rx-7. That sort of abuse pretty much destroys suspension, suspension mounting points, oilpan, gas tank, and unibody integrity. Why do you think they totaled over 300 Dodge Chargers making the Dukes of Hazard? That's totaled, as in wrecked and good only for parts. And that was done by professionals, because ameuters (like you) die when they jump cars at speed.

Consider yourself warned.

i guess i could understand a little jumping action as long as your car is a piece, but 90? you are nuts. if anything goes wrong at 90mph, 4 feet off the ground in a tiny *** 2300lb car like that its game over. i would still like to see a picture or video of that, but i wouldnt recommend you do it anymore. hell i wouldnt even jump a rav 4 at 60. when i lived in saudi my friend had a stock nissan patrol and he used to jump that bastard like 4 and a half feet off the ground, onto flat hard ground, but he only had to go like 35 or 40 mph, maybe less i dont remember.

type r video

the video he is talking about is a couple of kids that are filming their friend in his brand new integra type r doing some high speed runs on 2 lane roads in canada with ditches on both sides. while filming the last run the type r catches a little jump in the road and when he lands he starts sliding goes off the road down into a ditch, end over end and lands down into the ditch.totaled out type r and i think the kid lost his life the accident. so its not really smart to do things like that but hey we are not you so have fun and do what your gonna do. just be carefull
