Actually, it’s a RATO (rocket assisted take off), although the term is commonly mistaken with JATO.

Ya got me there....no intake grill on the front....unless it is BEV powered....lol

Looks like this guy, who did this for real with a VW New Beetle, now has some competition!

You would not get me in that death trap, not a chance.
No ejection seat.

Where is the Jet-A or liquid hydrogen rocket fuel tank for this contraption, strapped in the bed?

I wouldn't worry that it seems bolted to the door. You won't need the door to get out afterward. That will be handled by the jaws of life your local rescue department will be using. I've found the paint on mine chips really easily - that will also be of no concern after the first pass.

Looks to be computer generated. The shadows don't appear to go in the same directions. But is certainly amusing!

You, you mean... it's not real? Thanks for that.

Low-mileage but remarkable acceleration.

So you're that guy we read about in all of those emails (before the web)?
