I don't think your story has the intended effect. All you're saying is that it was loud and scary but no one got hurt. If I was a dumbass teenager that would probably make me want to do it even more.
Every once in awhile I'll see a very low hanging car carrier truck on the road, and I've always wanted to try just driving up onto it while they are still moving. I'm guessing you are the kind of person to tell me that's a bad idea too.
Bad bot. That's a nice idea but it needs to work. YouTube video loads instantly. This just stalls and doesn't work. You are fighting an uphill battle, you don't stand a chance if tech isn't any good.
If you aim for the stop sign you can hit the palm trees hit box and it bounces you over the fence into an out of bounds area, altho you do get instant 3 stars.
It's a pseudo hobby of mine to attempt pin pointing a picture on google maps when enough information is visible in the picture/post context.
In this instance, I saw the street cones have "City of Riverside" stenciled on them, and zooming in I can see the street sign in the background says "Fourteenth St".
So a gmaps search of "City of Riverside cemetery fourteenth st" got me to the right city block. After that it was "cruising around" in street view to find this intersection. I further confirmed with a unique gravestone on the right, and a gate in the background.
Finally, the exif info on this file looks like it's stripped/scrubbed, no geo info or other hints to give away location. I'm hoping Lemmy by default strips exif info on upload (I know it's a common practice for other social/image hosting apps).
They leave this lying around every once in a while, just so it's barely plausible when you see a convenient trailer like this in a movie. Some prop master left this here to tempt you, like the devil.
Do it!! We know from the Dukes that no matter how bent your car looks immediately after a jump, it'll just immediately straighten out and keep driving!!1!!
When I was a kid in the 80s watching knight rider I misheard and thought they said turbo bush, because there was a convenient bush in the way hiding the ramp each time.

This ramps straight into a cemetery, though, so kinda a one stop shop, no?
