1. Reminds me of the Bond film we were just discussing …

   1. It set a world record

      1. Impressive.

2. Carolina Crazy. Nothing like it.

3. No landing ramp. That looked like it hurt.

   Side note- I was riding in a car in Michigan years ago that slid off the highway in the snow. Went off the edge of an overpass at 70mph.
   A nurse a few cars back stopped to help, came running up and said “damn, you boys just pulled some Dukes of hazard sh*t.”

   1. That must have made your broken bones hurt less …

4. I notice they kept the Confederate flag. This was censored in the past several years. Woke is dying. Johnny Cash made the theme sound good. RIP

   1. The horn of the General Lee toots ‘Dixie’.

   2. “I notice they kept the Confederate flag. This was censored in the past several years. Woke is dying. ”

      I noticed that too….in fact, it was the first thing I looked for, that flag. I wonder if they still air the Dikes of Hazzard reruns on TV anywhere?

      1. I used to joke that when reruns of the Dukes of Hazard are shown in the US, they feature Tom Wopat; but when shown in Korea, they feature Tom Wopat-Gangnam-Style.

5. If there was no horn, was it even the General?

   1. “If there was no horn, was it even the General?”

      There was a horn, apparently.

      1. Didn’t hear it in the video linked. Landing impact, yes, but no horn.

6. And yet another General Lee bites the dust.

   1. I mourn all the Chargers lost in the service of anti-authoritarian mischief.

      1. Apparently the General Lee’s used for jumps now are reskinned old Crown Victoria’s with newly made sheet metal, grills, bumpers, etc.

            “Thankfully, it’s a clone built for stunts like this, not an actual ’69 Charger like the 300 that were destroyed in similar stunts performed during The Dukes of Hazzard’s 147-episode run.”

            1. Criminy. One every other episode. O! The humanity!

         2. Davis, this soothes my heart.

7. Lucky that guy got out of the way at the last second. My back hurts from watching that.
