I know that intersection well, it's kind of famous. There are actually quite a few extreme hills in Echo Park but that is the most extreme.
Was that stunt boneheaded and stupid? Yep. Are they jackasses? Yep/yep. But was it also kind of hilarious? Yes, to me. Who doesn't want to soar with the eagles, if only for a brief second? I don't think that a Tesla Model S with 4 people and a cat in it was the best choice, though. WAAAAY too heavy and apparently nose heavy, which is the last thing you want in a plane.
And yeah, 4 people and a cat in the car. Hell of a ride.
