 @03a95182 is this that show that has them? An orange loop de loop?

I swear I’ve seen a show with a real life orange loop actual cars try to traverse. But Scaled-up physics can be problematic. 
 @13d743bf No. They just build custom vehicles that look ridiculous. 
 @03a95182 I forget where I saw them attempt the loop de loop then. But it was orange. And as you can imagine they had to build monster truck sized suspensions to merely take the loop without the cahassus bottoming out. 

It was ok cool. Not motorcycle on the wall of death cool, but they tried. 
 @13d743bf I remember an X-games stunt involving a Hot Wheels loop track, but that goes back probably 10 years at this point. 
 @03a95182 It could actually be the *very*same *thing* I saw, as far as I know.

Also, I’m Rip Van Winkle. 

::Looks out window now:: No. No loop de loops happening right this minute. 
 @13d743bf I mean, it was DOPE AF.

 @03a95182 oh yeah, I think they drove towards each other.
