Don't see many 87 SE's doing this..... let alone any at all

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

haha that's great.

There was this sharp incline to leveling off of a road near my parent's old house. Ever since I could remember I would beg my parents to go fast over it. It was literally every time we drove on that road.. Well one day my mom was driving a few of my 5th grade buddies and I in her new 95 SLE and she went for it. Thinking the car was weighed down a bit from 4 boys, I think she gave it a little more gas than usual. Sure enough, she got the tires off the ground. Once she heard that chirp, she was mortified.. but we couldn't even put a sentence together because of how awesome it was. Accident or not, when your mom get's a car airborn, it's something you'll never forget.

Part of this makes me sad, but I've come to the realization that no matter what idiots will get a hold of classic collectible cars and destroy them, Demolition derbys, crap like this etc. :(

When I was a teenager I got my 1987 Honda Integra airborne going over a humpback bridge. Silly thing to do really. It didn't bottom out like that though!

Well, that guaranteed he won't sell the car... Because that's also probably NOT the first time he's done that!

I just thought it's super ironic that you never see an 87 SE on the road and then there's this random rust free one on this video, totally out the blue lol. Maybe in the south there's some of these cars around, but I never see any in Wisconsin. And it's the same color combo as the ones used in Pontiac promos and such from back in the day.

Exactly what I was thinking.. who uploads a video of them getting airborne with the car, bringing up sparks no less, and then turns around to sell it..
Unless he's selling it to someone specifically for the reason of jumping it.. who knows..
