    WOW!!

    I Love it!!

    This has got to be the most entertaining car event EVER!!
    First saw it on an episode of RoadKill last year.
    The Cherokee was the best.... cleared the hill and landed on the flat with a 'Boof!'.... just like Wile Coyote!

    Loved it! Two thumbs up! And I thought only snow fell on the mountains there.

    Someone should put a dashcam/ GoPro inside the car to get some footage of the jump from a "drivers" point of view, I bet it would be a pretty intense shot!

    Lash the steering wheel straight, affix the throttle wide open some how then drop it into gear from neutral and let er' rip! That's my take on it?
