[simpits-tech] Long read - but WORTH IT!

 I remember this story being passed around the military office via copy machine during the mid 80's.
 
 
 some of you might remember that's how jokes made their way around the world before the internet went public.

  Be prepared to spend some time reading this, but I'm telling you right now it's 
worth every second.

Anyone who's been exposed to the internet for more than an hour or so has most 
likely heard the rocket car story. Guy straps a JATO rocket to a car, flies it 
into a mountainside.

Clearly it's an urban legend, and I always figured someone just made it up.

Well, as it turns out... it has roots in reality (or at least what I think is 
reality - this IS the internet, so this guy may just be a very, very good 
bullshitter).

The REAL Rocket Car....

Turns out it was a '59 Impala, not a '67.....
