check the NE section here on the forum for the full story, pics, and vid.

yeah the guy is ok and luckily no one was hurt. Basically its a V8 conversion, the owner was standing near his car, hit the remote start and for some reason the car took off. The owner then jumped in his car to stop it but to no avail. He and the FD ended up in the drink not before hitting a car a couple of motorcycles and curve that apparantly made him go airbourne. Eye witnesses claim it was anywhere from 4-8 feet of air that he cought.

Which is why a lot of places are reluctant to install a remote start on a manual tranny.

If you do, at least make sure it's out of gear.
