Have you gone airborne in your car?

[Magnified]

Doesn't have to be this....



tell us your story.

 

[Hickster]

Do I need a condom??

 

[BULL]

I may or may not have momentarily left this Earth with my Challenger.

I can't be certain though, it's hard to get out and take a picture while you're frozen in space and time.

Mine is a virgin so I don't think I need that extra air ball underneath. Roasd around here are a bit tough in the sand. .

Are we talking Hellcats only, or cars in general (but not as in Lee)?

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

Well I finally achieved wheels up and a dead battery at one race event!
Had to jump start it and I still won my race!

But I'm not sure what you exactly mean

[stonewall]

No. and I hope I never do. I would imagine that it would flatten everything under the car when it landed.

 

[HemiPacer]

Indeed I have

 

[Magnified]

LOL, that's funny. But I meant airborne.



I've actually come off the ground in a car 5 times in my life (other than a little hop). Never in the Charger HC, and in fact, now since I approached 30. Was young and crazy.

So this thread proves we have officially run out of stuff to talk about.

I came off a 56 foot bridge on a 55 Harley Pan Head and missed the creek by 12 feet. Does that count. Bad story. Left a club house at 3 am for home. Rear brakes only on a chopper. 1.5 mile straight away before a 90 degree turn at the bridge over the creek. Hit about 85 and hit the brake and the brake rod broke. No brakes coming up on a concrete bridge em but ment. Side road, gravel for trains. Either hit the concrete or take the chance of splitting between both. Laid the bike down. Used my elbow as a rudder to make the shot. Made the gap, mid air kicked the bike away from me to land in the water. Nope. Bike hit the bank straight up, springer front end with tips. My back straddled the spikes on the front end. 8 months later.??? Good jump???

@Hickster - I prefer my Panheads with dual disc in the front, no fender. I’ll have to dig up the pics.
Jumped it? Yeah, a couple times.
It reminds you that you have a trailer hitch on a low car...
Also, didn’t see the ditch the last time... just had to gas it through and hit it at an angle. Wasn’t all 4 in the air, but 2 at a time on opposite corners. Maybe I’ll host the dashcam footage...
Took some pics of the damage, they’ll have to do for now.

 

[swatdocscx2]

Yeah just yesterday I drove it of the ramp of a C-5. It will buff out.

 

[YMMV]

I've dukes of hazard a few of my old jeeps off roading lol.

 

[Markp]

Not in my Hellcat but I have in my Power Wagon. I was flying down a trail and caught about 5 feet of air. Nothing broke but Power Wagons like crawling not flying. Scared the crap out of me because I didn't see the jump until I was airborne.

They crawl better then jump. This is me on the RTI ramp.

 

[Hunter]

One year ago today.
I know car stopped with rear wheels in air.

 

[Blkout]

Lord no.

 

[Magnified]

I remember that like yesterday, but all in all it could have been far worse. Glad you're still here kicking.

On the powerwagon flight, I jumped my old Expedition EL inadvertantly 5 or so years ago. Also did not see the jump coming (at highway speed!) and scared the daylights out of a bunch of TXDOT engineers that were nearby.
