This would probably work and the car would probably be fine.....


then again it could tweak the roof and the doors will either never open again .. or never close right again ...

If the car was going to the junk yard after I'd do this and call it a day ... but seeing as NOT breaking the car was in the original specs.. I'd not risk it.

But...they are fun to ride before they become all sticky.

not sure what type of building it is or what its used for- but having the car full of fluid, especially gas, seems like its extra risk for no gain. and make sure it does not leak! haha

If you set-up a 1,000 gallon salt water tank in your living room, that is intentional. When it collapses your floor and lands in your basement, that isn't intentional.

Don't forget to set the parking brake.
