Also, I'm pretty sure I
got air under all four of my car tires (at the same time) once or twice a
lot time ago, but that's a logbook entry better left out...

Those of you in Northwest Ohio, and many of the other flat states, are
familiar with the "humps" that all of the railroad tracks are on. For those
of you that are not, they are about the greatest jump ramps made. Some are
even fantastic.

Most front engine cars will jump, and land *very* front heavy. Ask a friend
of mine, how that hole got in the oil pan of his parent's caddy. g I had
a Corvair. They jump very nicely. I regularly cleared a whole second of
airtime, and perhaps a bit more.

After I bought my new car, my brother got the Corvair. It died of tin worm,
and from the front unibody allowing the tops of the tires to be closer
together than the bottoms.. not good.

I later found my brother had made the track jumping into a whole new art
form....
