"He unfortunately was traveling at a speed between 100-118 miles per hour," Salas told KFSN. "He left the dirt road embankment off the San Joaquin River from Dickenson Road and traveled a distance of approximately 337 feet."

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I like the trooper in the green jacket. Looks like he is describing how he drove into a hard corner at the track the previous weekend.

2004 is probably what they meant. That's totally the hole for a headlight from a W203 C class.

Ah...I'm not a Merc person, but looks like your are right. I just looked at the CNN article and Holy Sh!t he cleared the water!!!! That is impressive and came in a tree top level. Evil Knievel would be jealous.Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 5:14 pm2004 is probably what they meant. That's totally the hole for a headlight from a W203 C class.

His landing was consistent with most of Evel's...
Speaking of Mr. Knievel - the Richard Hammond/Evel Knievel Netflix special was depressing. Interesting, but depressing.
