    my step sister had one of them cars once. don't remember the brand, but that was back in the 80's. when the speed limit was 55 nationwide. don't think it would keep up with traffic today. it had 4 really small squirrels for an engine.

    Hubby had one almost do that in IA one night. It was very cold and the roads were super slick. BMW comes barreling onto the interstate and just about goes up under his hopper. Hubby said, "That's enough with the idiots! I'm done for the night. I don't care if I only have a 2hr drive home, I'm stopping." And he did. Said his legs were shaking over that one.

    I unloaded at a store in a shopping center in nj and was killing a few minutes in the parking lot.
    I noticed a 12-14 year old kid on a full sized bicycle, hanging out alongside of my van trailer.
    I watched him in the mirrors, he circled a bit, then made a dash for the center of the trailer.
    I was thinking 'oh xxxxx!!!!' And maybe he was going to claim I hit him, and started to get out of the truck, expecting him to be under the trailer.
    Hell no! He circled round from behind the trailer....made 3 or 4 more passes under the trailer, and I could watch him pop out from the other side in the passenger mirror!
    I have no idea how he did it, but he was kind of slung down over one side of the bike as he went under the trailer.
    By the time I got my camera out, he was gone!
    This might have been some kind of a stunt bike, but it was not some tiny things clowns ride.
