So... What's the most fun way to get a Honda to go 140?
Simple. Drop it out of a plane (http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&loc_code=&content_code=00923873)
These guys (for 15k) will drop your car out of an airplane w/ you inside. Parachutes are optional :D (For the car of course)....

From the story: The hoods are duct-taped shut, since metal tearing off at terminal velocity could endanger the ?drivers.?
Boy, I wish I had a nickel for every time duct tape prevented someone's violent death at terminal velocity.
"Their ultimate goal is to drop a Greyhound with forty people inside."
This has the potential to be the first 40-way Darwin Award...
?There?s no real science to it?it?s hit or miss,? says skydiver/skydriver Greg Gasson
I don't want to know what would happen if they hit, let alone if they miss. Hit what? Where?
Sometimes the funniest part of being American is comparing the things we can't do with the things that are perfectly legal.
