Hoverbikes Are Real

  1. There's a street in my town with a significant drop - a dip I guess. Many years ago, I had a 1982 1300CC Honda Civic hatchback and my son and I would run the Honda down that street as fast as I could get it going in available space - about 45mph. The front end would leave the ground -- it felt like the whole car went in the air, but probably not. The kid was about 5 years old and he loved it. I was in my 30s and I loved it too.

  2. Back in the early 1980's, I regularly launched my 4 door 1970 Chevy Impala on Bush Hill Road in Manchester, CT. The rise was perfect resulting in a few inches of air between tires and road and a not too harsh a landing. Speed limit was maybe 35 MPH, but I used to hit it at 60+. Yeah, we were dumb kids.

  4. That's a BMW, right? It would be more impressive if they used turn signals.

  5. No. It's an early BMW.
    No turn signals. No mirrors.
