Crash Your Clunker
Tue, August 18, 2009 
So you've decided the government's Cash for Clunkers program just isn't for you. These rednecks in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin offer up another solution for your old beater. Bob Moravitz decided to build a dirt ramp at his excavating company, then launch the radio controlled clunkers into the horizon.
"Using a remote and several devices that were installed in each car, they were able to control the throttle and steering. But they can't make the cars stop, so they dug trenches along the runway to stop the cars, in case they veered off course.
After releasing the brake, Rick and Jake followed close behind on a four-wheeler, controlling the speed and direction all the way up to takeoff.
They didn't just launch cars. They also sent a camper that was hauling a boat and a pickup that was pulling a round baler. But the biggest attraction had to be the two airborne school buses, which brought spectators to their feet."
The eight hours of festivities ended with the rednecks bowing mooning the audience.
