    Pretty awesome. Favorites are the Activity Bus towards the beginning and the Fire Trucks towards the end.
    I will not give you service manuals or firmware.

      The one that most impressed me was what seems to be a mother with her child being run over (at 2:29), when you see the balloon going up in the air.

      I assure you, I'd kill whith my own hands the guy who would do that to my kid.

        The guy blowing the light as he passed a cop was good. Some of those looked pretty brutal.

          I love these videos. Is that wrong?
          It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

          Hit it.

            I ran a redlight once. It was 6 days after getting my brand new Grand Prix out of the body shop, after finding out it could not fly. By the way, you know when you would see the Dukes of Hazzard, and they would sail the car 50 feet through the air, it would hit the ground and bounce then keep moving down the road? Well I am here to say that is total bullshit. My first hand experience says that when the car lands, it does not move any more. The bill was $2400 to straighten out the frame. Then I went through the red light and got T-boned by a Buick. Another $2200. I have destroyed some metal in my day!

              My old service manager got T boned by some dick head that ran a red light as she was turning on a green. It buggered her up a bit.

              In my city people run yellow lights like crazy, it's a bugger when your trying to turn left and the yellow hits and 4 more cars still motor through.

              The fire trucks were my favorite.

                @fixthecopier. Hate to tell you this buddy, but do you have any idea how many General Lee's it took to film Dukes of Hazzard (original show)? The one where it goes airborne and hits the ground destroyed that car. They did it a couple of times and filmed it. Every time you see that shot in the show, it's the same one. Most of the road scenes are the same one. I wish I'd known you before you tried all that stuff and ruined your car, but you probably wouldn't have believed me and done it anyway. I bet it was fun up until the end. lol.
                Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                  I knew a guy that used to be on the body shop crew for that show. He said they had someone whose job it was just to go out and look for more cars to buy. I sailed mine through the air by falling asleep and waking up just as I was going through the "T" intersection. I also found out that if you stand an El Camino on its nose, all the stuff falls out of the bed. Took the tow truck an hour and a half to get that one pulled back on the road.

                      Me too. And I would probably torture them first before killing. That was sad.
