I was sitting there in the truck and saw my camera next to me so I figured what the heck. Turn it on and mash the throttle. I didn't do anything fancy like power braking, just hit it. Anyway, here's the vid and turn up the volumn  :

You've screwed up now. I heard that the last person that referred to her as little susie was killed by a lethal booger.  |

Hrmmm...JATO strapped to roof rack cross bars? 
The Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came upon a pile of smoldering wreckage embedded in the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The metal debris resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it turned out to be the vaporized remains of an automobile. The make of the vehicle was unidentifiable at the scene.
The folks in the lab finally figured out what it was, and pieced together the events that led up to its demise.
It seems that a former Air Force sergeant had somehow got hold of a JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) unit. JATO units are solid fuel rockets used to give heavy military transport airplanes an extra push for take-off from short airfields.
Dried desert lakebeds are the location of choice for breaking the world ground vehicle speed record. The sergeant took the JATO unit into the Arizona desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, accelerated to a high speed, and fired off the rocket. The facts, as best as could be determined, are as follows:
The operator was driving a 1967 Chevy Impala. He ignited the JATO unit approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. This was established by the location of a prominently scorched and melted strip of asphalt. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of between 250 and 300 mph and continued at that speed, under full power, for an additional 20-25 seconds. The soon-to-be pilot experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners.
The Chevy remained on the straight highway for approximately 2.6 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied the brakes, completely melting them, blowing the tires, and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface. The vehicle then became airborne for an additional 1.3 miles, impacted the cliff face at a height of 125 feet, and left a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recovered; however, small fragments of bone, teeth, and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.

How about this:
Look at the mud hole, Mommy! That's where Hummers go, not daddy's truck.
Why do we have a Hummer?
I don't want to go back to the Hummer dealer...!
You don't like this movie?! I'm turning it off!!
E.J. yells:"WEEEEEEEEE!! " J.T. says:"No wee. I said NO WEEEE!" MOM!
That sounds like one forum I'd like to join! Maybe the coffee pot in the car isn't such a bad idea! Also thinking of a blender!
