Apr 14 2009Trying To Pancake A Car With A Rocket Sled
This is by far one of the coolest videos I've seen in awhile. In it, the Mythbusters attempt to fuse metal and pancake a compact car using a rocket-sled traveling at 650MPH. The results are....amazing. And why I don't drive. With a license.
Thanks to snipmint, who once rode a rocket to the moon and didn't bother to bring me back any cheese. Just sayin', kind of a dick move.

Guys I bet Adam has really seen something faster than that he was sooo wrong when he said he had not seen anything faster than that because i bet he has seen a star and they are faster than that.

I saw this episode the other day! super cool! I liked the part (not shown here) where they actually fuse 2 metal plates together with explosives.
ROCKETS FTW

I consider the test a failure as the car did not contain Paris Hilton, Kanye West, or Brody Jenner.
What a waste..

@4 & 7, You're a tool.
@9, I love Haiku
@Mythbusters, I love you. Lets test the myth that two males cannot make a baby.
12. JW - April 14, 2009 11:21 AM
exactly what myth was this testing? can my car survive being hit by the space shuttle? either way it was still a rad video.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was working in the drug store and some terrorists wanted to buy nitroglycerine, but due to their thick accents Max thought they wanted Neosporin, so the bomb they built didn't work out.
