Right click it and say "Save As..." and then save it to your computer. Works much better that way.


LOL, that video was great.

I don't think it hit the car, but it was funny to see it flying at that crap car.

That video is funny...

We used to have a water balloon launcher mounted in the back of the Safari Wagon. Simillar in concept, but much more firepower. My friends and I used to have Mad-Max style water balloon fights from cars in traffic. It needed a two-man gun crew to operate, but you could fire as many shots as you had onboard, and pull the hatch shut when people started shooting back.

Sounds like a good Idea if you never want to drive your car fast again.

With it that low to the ground, you would scrape almost anthing, bumps and all......

Like that would work....

I mean you talking like 44in tall....
