It really depends on how good of a jumper you are.

Few people can jump a 914 lengthwise.

It usually involves having a friend drive straight at you at 60 MPH, and then you jump up and the car passes below you.

Jumping high enough is mandatory, and as in comedy, timing is everything.

Did see a video of guy jumping his teener. He succeeded twice, and hit the windshield the third time and rolled....... He refused to jump after that.

He was limping a little, holding his arm and looking like he was in extreme pain.

If you meant jumping something while driving yer your car, it will probably fold in the middle when it comes down......

In either case, have insurance- both life and vehicle

Although in either case, they may refuse payout to your surviving beneficiaries...

I've jumped in mine once. Had the interior out and was frustrated... Jumped up and down like a little kid.

Wonder if it would've made the jump without the weight of the passengers. Actually, it did make the jump - just had a little trouble where the "landing ramp" tucks beneath the roadway when the bridge is up.

More importantly... anyone get the VIN? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

(awesome find)

This reminded me of an ancient thread inspiring Miles to Photoshop the General 914...

I can tell you from experience that a teener does not go airborne well...

At Targa Newfoundland, there were a couple 'jumps' in the road, little crests, that at speed would send you airborne. For some reason, a 914 wants to immediately dive nose down and kick up the back over a crest. Twice we went over them on the road and hit the underside of the front valence immediately..

then there was the off after the wet bridge.....

I wonder if the limo will do the same thing?

Jumping cars is movie crap. You shoulda watched the Mythbusters rerun last night. They debunked the "running through a locked chain link gate" action sequence, the "running through a fruit stand without any damage to the car" stunt, and the "dropping the car from 4000 feet while it remains flat" ad, among others. In all instances, the cars were rendered inoperable, and they had to add a buncha weight to the trunk of the car drop car to keep it relatively level. Jumping as car is no different, they're pretty much always severely compromised.

the subarus in Targa seemed to go flat when they went airborne... they got a couple of them on film...just watch the cars in WRC. Otherwise...not so much.
