I did that once in a 1962 Chevy Impala. True story, wasn't rolling film but I did have 5 unwitting and scared crapless witnesses. Very little damage to the car even though my transmission was thrown into reverse on the impact of landing, they don't make them like that no more. To be honest it was the dumbest thing I have ever done. It was lucky that no one broke their back. I'm not proud of it, ok maybe a little.

Was a '64 Impala for me….in the back seat on a double date…..driver straightened a turn out and drove into a canyon.  Very, very noisy going end over end thru the trees.  :)

You wouldn't believe the huge shower of sparks when you land one at night.

It's even more intense than film special effects.

My first time airborne in a car was in an AMC Gremlin. Friend of my parents was taking me and my sister to the local pool....Being new to the area she didnt know about the table top bridge over the Tohickon Creek outside of Quakertown PA...Needless to say when she didnt slow down to go over it i knew we were in trouble (my school bus went over it every day) Amazing the amount of air one of those little cars could get. I remember it like it was yesterday....lady was like 14mos pregnant at the time...literally ready to burst. Now that i look back at the impact of the landing, im amazed we didnt end that drive with an extra passenger  :lol

I love the fact that as soon as a vehicle becomes airborne, your mind simply fails to comprehend that steering will no longer have any effect :lol

In Great Falls, Virginia, there is a restaurant called "chez francois" that exists at the end of the most insane rollercoaster of a road where I spent much of the 80s catching air in mazda RX-2, RX-3, and RX-5 cars.

Surprised I am still alive.

"Chez Francois" is where Valerie Plame sat with the rest of the CIA crowd outing herself a few times per night for the sake of conversation.

It's where the CIA people go for good food and atmosphere.
