Did You Say You Wanted To See More Videos Of Cars Jumping Stuff

Perhaps you didn’t. But this one is worth watching from at least two angles.


This particular rally took place in Estonia, near the north shore. You can find out more about it here — but if the course is always like this, I might relax my no-rallying stance and give it a shot!

    When I finally got a broadband internet connection back in the day, I spent waaaaaaaay too much time watching people jump cars on youtube... This was kinda impressive the way he saved the landing and then drifted it, but it's by no means an impressive jump in itself. I've seen people get more height in an RV (then going to the hospital with back injuries, but, well, omelets and broken eggs)

    Very well done! My buddy once jumped a Texas gate with a rental Chrysler. The jump was measured at about 40 feet. But when he landed the airbags went off, knocking his hands off the wheel and sending him into the ditch where he scratched the side of the car on some bushes. He didn't spill his beer though. He drove back into town with the windshield smashed and the airbags hanging out, and came up with a perfectly reasonable story for it. There's no reason the airbags should have gone off for such a minor impact anyway.

  • Dukeisduke Is the Volvo EX30 even on sale yet? It was pulled from the NACTOY awards because they were having software problems with the vehicle.
  • Wjtinfwb If you've only got 5k to spend on transportation, I cannot imagine a worse way to spend it than on a GM orphan from Sweden that's 15 years old with 150k on the clock and limited plus expensive parts availability and dwindling techs who'd even want to work on it. Go find a similar vintage Camry or Accord with 150k miles or even a Ford or a Chevy, whatever. Hell, even an old Jaguar is less of a crapshoot than a Saab. At least you can still get parts.
  • Kwik_Shift Brands that were considered from China include BYD, Dayun, Great Wall Motors, Maxus, Nio, Omoda/Chery, Seres, XPeng, and Zeekr. KG Mobility from South Korea also made the list of candidates.That's a lot of car companies from there ready to head here.
  • Analoggrotto Clean sweep and unanimous victory for the world affluence engine of 22nd century : Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Toyota and Lexus, for 120 years of history have not been able to capture the zenith superlative status of Hyundai Motor Corporation the most awarded, decorated and revered automotive corporation in the history of historical. Featuring best ever, first ever and greatest ever e-ATPs the Hyundai Genesis Kia lineup is posed to become the envy of every country club, ivy league college and fortune 500 corporation in the world. I've been taking a roadtrip in my loaner Elantra N, visiting colleges from east to west, elite universities of higher learning to inspect their parking lots. WHat did I find? Leagues of Genesis models, outnumbering Lexus 3 to 1. When I interviewed faculty and staff at these places of greater learning, their response was unanimous : they chose HMC for the ATPs.
