I flew an F-150 backward in reverse gear once, over a big hill, I  believe I am an expert in "rear axle destruction testing".

As AquaShrimp might say, that's CLEARLY impossible.  ;)

I rode in a turboprop in a thunderstorm once and it made me spill me peanuts. Therefore I shall use my vast pil0t knowledge to say the video is a fake!!

Apparently the stall speed of a 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport is somewhere above 120mph .. but I have made a reasonably successful water landing in one.

Has anyone considered that WaterBoy travels a lot and just happened to spend the night at Holiday Inn Express the night prior to posting his analysis of the video?

The thing is, I don't think we'd be ripping on him anywhere near half as hard if he hadn't been such a p$#&k about it.
