Find a nice cliff with an aproach of at least 50 feet. Make sure that your car will go straight with no one at the wheel (at lot of negative camber on the front suspension will help this) and that the aproach isn't too uneven or bumpy. Press a stick against the accelerator (not a brick, the insurance agent will wonder why you were carrying a brick up front with you), and let the car roll forward under it's own power. A long aproach will let it build up enough speed to clear any trees, too long and it may go of course. Have an alibi ready. -- Kevin Thompson {ucbvax,ihnp4!nsc}!voder!kevin "It's sort of a threat, you see. I've never been very good at them myself but I'm told they can be very effective."
