That was pretty cool.

I wonder what kind of damage was done to the car? It really landed hard.

looks like the tires blew out on the landing maybe, and the windsheild cracked. He overshot the landing, too bad he didn't roll it.

They didn't really go into detail about the damage...but the way it landed, they were sure that it had major damage in alot of places.

I can't imagine what kind of damage he did to his back with that jump....he totaly cleared the ramp and landed on the flat ground.

heres the video if you can't find it on the discovery site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm2rWx0zcvM&NR
