#dream vignette
- recreated dukes of fast and furious physics defying car jump scene while driving a performance modified 2nd Gen Toyota Prius beater / sleeper car in a… cemetery???
- after the town planners put in deterrence that actually made for even better ramps but after multiple jumps I didn’t succeed on the last landing and a headstone pierced the cladding of battery pack

Here’s the vibe… billionaires have access to things nobody else does, yet [1]. Sometimes these are even things that governments and militaries don’t have access to, yet.
