    Those land speed record attempts are absurdly dangerous. At that speed you are towing a thin line between taking flight and staying on the ground all while in a "vehicle" that is being stressed to it's breaking point with a rocket at your back.

    Huge Mythbusters fan, and I remember her filling in while Kari was on maternity leave. Can't say I watched any of her other shows.

    Terrible. It seemed like she led an exciting life.

    I wonder what it feels like to go 500 mph on the ground.

    That jet car had 50,000+ horsepower.
