A few years ago a teenager in his Honda Prelude got killed in our subdivision. He managed to get up to around 115-120 according to a friend who investigated the so called accident and drove into the woods at the end of the cul-de-sac. The car hit the curb and jumped 10-15 feet up into the air and went into the woods. Trees looked as if someone had cut them with a chainsaw--they were cut off perfectly clean. This happened in the middle of the night and no one found the car for a few days. The woods are very thick and you couldn't notice the trees unless you really looked. The car flew about 50 to 60 yards descending through the trees and finally hit a very large oak tree--the driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt and part of him was ejected. This was classified as an accident, the parents said the kid didn't know the road was a dead end. He had been racing through the neighborhood for a long time so many thought he was high, drunk, or this was a suicide--no one knew for sure.
So guys yes a Honda can fly, in fact any car can fly if it has enough velocity behind it. This was the worst accident the State Police investigator that I spoke to had ever seen (he had been on the force for over 30 yrs).
