The car was the same. I liked the overspray that was on the tailights where they used "Mythbusters" to cover the "Pontiac".

Nice set-up for the remote driving (nothing new for them).

At least it wasn't a true Yellow GT.

I would've liked to have had the Mr. Mike's seats though before they wrecked it.

That was BS. They fubared the ramp in order to intentionally make it flip. I hope they don't try it again.

lol, mythbusters has been on my wont watch list before... the episode where they stuck a dead pig in a nice C4 for like 4 months made me sick... At least this is more interesting than that, and to be honest if I ever have to skip across water I will know if it is at all feasible or not.

No, they were replicating the movie theme and there was a ramp there. Now they're trying again with different parameters.

The ramp was short an steep. All it did was jolt the car into a nose-down attitude. Sheesh, that was 30 minutes I'll never get back.

You didn't get my point. They made the ramp much shorter than it was in the movie with the intention of upsetting the pitch and getting to nose down.
