I noticed that Leno's arm was out the window part of the time before the car made it's run. Leno is very lucky his arm wasn't torn up when the car rolled.
I wonder if he realized how lucky he was.

2500hp should be restricted to locomotives! They don't roll as easily.

Would have been better if the crew had asked them if they needed fresh underwear!

I had a 66 cudda back in the day with the old slant six.You don't see them anymore because although they were not sports cars they looked like it + folks were constantly putting in larger motors + literally driving them into the ground.


Never mistake motion for action.
