    Didn’t give that first fiero a long enough take off ramp. The suspension didn’t have any time to settle so as soon as the front wheels left the ramp the wheels were rebounding downward sending it forward as well the rear suspension doing the same as the weight transfers and pushing it even harder into a front flip. I think with a longer, less steep take off ramp it would be plausible without a submerged platform

    it actually makes a ton of sense that the toilet seat is technically the cleanest household object. it's sort of like survivorship bias. since people would tend to think of their toilet seat as being the dirtiest thing in the house, it likely gets cleaned a lot more often than other objects which people don't actually consider dirty, or don't touch often enough or long enough to consider that they'd pick up many germs. that being said, i always wash my hands after touching money, regularly clean my keyboards and device screens, and i hope everyone else does too!

    They probably cut off the throttle at the first jump of the car.. If they'd watched Colin McRae Rally Lectures, they'd know that to let the car not nose-dive, you gotta use throttle for the wheels to keep rotating in order to use gyroscopic effect.

    I unintentionally jumped one of my Fieros years ago. Misjudged the road conditions. Lol. Small jump, but it landed fine. Kept the throttle pegged. No major nose dive.

    The car has to be on a plane to skim the water . Which means evenly distributing the transition from road to water as flat as possible . Of course it’s not gonna skim if it’s on a ramp whereas the car will nosedive and hit the water like concrete .

    You might stay dry skipping a car over a lake, but it's highly unlikely your spine and neck will remain intact. One of the drivers for First Blood broke his back jumping railroad track for the move, and he only went about 10 feet in the air.

    A late uncle of mine worked in a biscuit/cookie factory, he worked nights on maintenance of the factories machinery. He turned me off biscuit/cookie for life after he informed me the factory was plagued by both rats and mice in large numbers. Their droppings of solid waste was just brushed of the biscuit/cookie but he never mentioned their water wate production. Many food factories are plagued by rodents and flies when there's no staff on site and we get to consume these products daily.

    Domesticated rats are very friendly and cleanly creatures. They make great pets as long as you have more than one. Also, never pick up a rat by the tail that can cause degloving which seperates parts. Don't think all rats are pests, they're quite interesting animals.

    Yeah they totally fucked up that jump, and hearing him talk about the weight of the car and everything was ridiculous lol, like its their fault the car didn't skip yet they give any reason for it not working they can. I've seen side by sides hydroplane all the way across a huge pond/oasis in Glamis dunes, so I know for a fact this is possible!

    Also I'm wondering about airfoil on the fiero, which the lambo SX crew may have also tweaked and optimized for the movie. That would not only weigh down the rear properly but keep it down after launch so it could touch down nicely at the rear. All told, there were many ways they could have better approximated the movie setup. That said, this episode really brought home to me what I never fully appreciated when I saw the originals: the mad skills of the MB team. Jessie's NOx mod was bordering on rocket-science.
