Them Duke boys are at it again

She wanted to go out in style, but her car wouldn’t let her.
Thelma and Louise and the Duke boys would still be proud.•

That is seriously real world impressive. (For the Lexus to be still that intact after something that.)
AFAIR, most of the General Lee's were absolutely totalled after the jumps they did on the show.
How bloody fast was this Lexus going to get that high airtime!?!??
#I want to see NHSTA yearly crash tests using this particular hill and model from now on!

Is the camera having an epileptic fit?

u/PharmaMailMover 13h ago
Honestly, that camera shake is almost as dramatic as the jump. looks like it needs a seatbelt too.

That camera definitely had a wild ride! It's crazy to think about how life-threatening that jump was while the footage was shaking all over the place.

I'm just guessing here but I think for her to make that jump, with how long she drove on the grass and made it up that hill... she had to have cruise control on and was on her phone and something made her panic. IDK. Its pretty impressive and I kinda want to see the vid of it.

If you watch longer the video is in the end...

u/Lumpy_Past6216 9h ago
I seen the whole vid. It doesnt show the beginning of how she got to where she was in the air. THAT is where I made a guess of how this might have went down.

Any sauce on this situation? Asleep at the wheel with cruise control on? A health episode? Looking into the abyss while having a death grip on the wheel?

The rear landing first definitely saved her. Full seat support (ish) for the big hit. Nothing on the driver side front...very lucky

I've been telling everyone for years about Lexus superiority. Even a 20+ year old Lexus will be the best car you'll ever have. Also the safest.

As a mechanic, I tell people all the time that Lexuses are basically indestructible and built to last. This video goes a long way toward reinforcing my long held confirmation bias. 🤣

Wow dad, we must have jumped that rail by like 50 yards.
That's nothing to be proud of Russ!
Fifty yards!

Impressive she survived. I would have expected the car to tip forward in mid air. She had a rough landing.

Once rolled up on an identical one of these -- I saw this red flash, while sitting at a light, and thought I burst a blood vessel or something -- but she landed in a (dry) retention pond.
She didn't survive.
This woman was INCREDIBLY lucky.

Possible defective accelerator pedal. Cars don’t have a cable anymore, all electronic accelerator.

That's Japanese engineering for you. A '69 charger would still be on the road!
