It's time to watch some grade-A HD hoonage of when bored Oregonians find themselves in the same muddy lot as a junker Honda Accord. They get some firewood, and then they go redneck car jumping. More »

Although non-turbocharged Buicks are normally more well known for floatin' than flyin', here's a hoon in a Buick LeSabre showing why he's driving the first class of air class. [via Banovsky] More »

The video above video, which we've shown you before, takes a little explanation but, for the uninitiated, it is well worth it. Ken Carter was the great Canadian stunt driver who, initially, undertook the usual types of challenges that you see here in the beginning of this clip. Eventually, he decided he wanted to make one great memorable rocket-powered jump over the St. Lawrence Seaway from Canada into the United States, a distance of nearly a mile. There are numerous attempts to get the funding, the weather and the materials to work. After years he think he's got his jump ready in a 1979 Lincoln Continental in an attempt weirdly similar to The Ramp BMW documentary. Things don't go right and he aborts five second before take-off.

If only it snowed more down in Hazzard County, Georgia, I'm sure the Duke Boys would have had as much fun as these chaps did in this Subaru. This car was supposedly bought with the sole intention of performing a 68-foot snow jump. Mission accomplished! The little-Subie-that-could manages to gain some air time and doesn't kill anyone. Cooter would have been impressed. Them Subies, them Subies... Who needs a freaking '69 Charger named after a defeated Virginian militarist, anyway? [MySpaceTV] More »

Imagine it- a runner shows up at the yard and the call goes out to set up the ramp! Here's a flat-tired Maxima getting some decent air. But wait, there's more... More »

Imagine combining a profound love of Jeeps with the desire to see them pull off Dukes-of-Hazzard-on-acid jumps. Well my friend, that's the idea behind Jeep Flyer. Go ahead, take a furtive stab at a loop-dee-loop, make massive jumps over impossible distances, crash the Jeep into a thorny nest of death spikes and watch the driver fly off into white space — it's only limited by your imagination (and simulated physics). Now that you're hooked, go introduce it to all of your coworkers and enjoy as your office productivity plummets to zero. See you in the unemployment line.– Ben Wojdyla More »
