    I'd agree with you, but it depends on the slack in the chain... even a 2500# POS with no power has a bit of kinetic energy with some slack...

    I pulled vehicles that were stuck in a ditch out with a 2WD '79 Dodge D50 (re-badged Mistubishi)... the secret was the tow rope made out of 1" nylon rope... it stretched and then yanked them out... I'd be doing around 10mph by the time I hit the end of the slack...

    made me good money, I'd bet them $50 I could get them out... I never lost, wouldn't take on lost causes- and that was late '80s dollars!

    There you go, crushing my joke with that silly evil thing Liberals hate "Logic"... I'd say even a Prius could achieve what this guy did in the CRV- just find a hill...

    Just think of the anticipation between the start and the pop.

    Did his body land on his head causing his head to be up his ass? Otherwise I don't see the comparison.

    If the guy really had the balls to link a chain around his neck, and around a solid fixed object........and drive off to achieve the end result........

    Nice job !! I'm giving extra creativity points on that.

    well if you just have to kill yourself at least be original.

    i gotta say that was original...

    betting someone else was involved though.

    I'm kinda hoping this'll set off a "Tebowing" internet meme rage of internet meming scenesters offing themselves.....

    I know, probably too much to hope for, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
