Lincoln Mark IV Super Jump

Since I am in a Mark sort of mood this week.
You will believe a Mark IV can fly, well kinda:

Apparently the stunt was originally designed by the "Mad Canadian" Ken Carter but he was replaced by American driver Kenny Powers at the last minute. Needless to say things did not end well. However, kudos for using a Lincoln Mark IV, to paraphrase Dr. Brown from Back to the Future, if you're gonna build a jet powered car to jump the St.Lawrence River, why not do it with some style?
