We got airborne alright--which is a thing in itself to be flying in a car--but it was the landing that was horrifying, we bottomed out, went sideways, almost rolled--but props to my crazy older brother, he kept it shiny side up.

I'm not sure what they beefed up to do those stunts, but from our experience, I doubt that was a stock suspension!

(We kind of slunk back to the dealership, caught the sales guy when he was busy and handed him the keys and took off. Never heard anything about it, but I'm pretty sure we potato chipped at least one wheel, and it definitely was not the car we took out...)

Best story ever. Sometimes older brothers are Alright
