But actually I remember the Smokey and the Bandit.  That TA looked really
squirrly coming out of the back of that Semi.

I'm going to try to find Gumball rally and Italian Job.....

out... could play serious hell on the center diff.... unless someone wants

I Have always wondered what would happen if a car was doing 60 MPH or so and
then the wheels suddenly stooped (When thy hit the ramp) Seems like 60-0 in
less than a second would strip a differential or shear a torque
converter/flywheel since the engine is probably spinng about three grand and
then suddenly is slowed down to idle in than same fraction of a second..
