When I was a kid in hi-school, (ancient history 101)I had a '61 olds Dynamic 88 4-dr.... my friends made fun of it cuz it was UGLY, but man, was it fast! Not quick, but FAST. Bury-the-speedo fast. A friend and I were cruisin' the north hill of Pendleton one day, after watching Bullitt, and there we were, goin' up a nice, steep hill, with these flat intersections. We looked at each other, grinned, and I PUNCHED IT! The car would nearly leave the ground at each one...
Well, I'd never been up that street before, and didn't realize that after about the 3rd street, it simply went DOWN!
The big ol' barge got SERIOUS air.
Time stopped.
We looked at each other.
The engine raced.
I looked down.
WAY down.
The car arched gracefully through the air, and hit.
HARD.
Front bumper/wheels first, flattened out with an incredible crash, and bounced.
Twice.
I looked ahead. We were still moving at least 30mph. There was a stop sign. I stood on the brakes, and skidded right up to the line.
We sat there, engine still running.
I looked in the mirror, and there was a '61 Olds-shaped mass of dirt, nuts and bolts, and miscellaneous crap back where we touched down.
A cop drives through the intersection, oblivious.
People were coming out of the houses looking for the wreck. Shaking like a leaf, We drove away.
What a car!
