 I saw that add also. Im surprised that the local building inspector has not fined the owner, or condemned the building with all that weight on the roof.

Idiot is not a strong enough word.  Any other better words? :shruggy: :shruggy: :shruggy:

What does the car weigh like it sits with no engine or tranny? It looks like the interior is out of it too. I doubt it will weigh over 2500 which puts the weight at 625 pounds per tire which is the weight of two big men... Those posts are going to hold a lot more than you think.

I think its funny.  Better than seeing another of those blowup dancing Li'l Caesars or giant monkeys.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

I think the only point is to make you look at whatever business its parked on top of.  Nothing more nothing less and I imagine it works pretty well.

...maybe I should (buy it and) put it on top of my house  :scratchchin:


HOA would probably not be amused....

I've never seen it, but we sold one of the totalled out stunt cars wrecked in the freeway jump from the movie a few years back.  As I understood it, it was also going to be used as an ad on a building or pole or something like that.  I think the business was a scrapyard somewhere around Toronto but I'm not sure about that.

i was thinking they either sell or repair muscle cars since in the one pic you see a mustang and another car under the porch of the building next to it.

nice heavy chains to hold it to the roof. i'd imagine in a strong wind, the porch roof will lift off, complete with general lee.  :rotz:

I don't see how that porch roof would be any more likely to lift off than it was before the car was bolted to it.  If anything an extra 2500 pounds should help hold it down.

I still don't see how the car on the roof would do anything but help hold it down.

Looks like it could be Travis, was it the one they used to set the jump up but it off course and piled into the concrete barrier?  You don't actually see it in the movie but they show it in the extras on the dvd?
