WOW That video looks like computer animated but it's for real. Too bad, couldn't really see the impact. Damn, Firebirds really do FLY.

Re: Ouch!

Relax everybody, I'm fine, and yes it was a pretty hairy ride.

I drove out to see & test drive Bennie's Trans Am he had for sale.

I had a couple beers in me, so I said "Bennie you drive", so he did. I think he was trying to distract me, by showing off the power, but failing to mention the car was stolen, and had no brakes.

Its got a couple scratches but still goes faster than a camaro.

Nothing like a new story for an old vid.

Needless to say, I'm waiting for it to pass smog.
