Exclamation I ain't really sure if my SVX can do this.....

I am really not sure if my/our SVX/i can do this - too steep even with the same tires. I also don't know if I want to do that, might fall off from the bridge...

I would say for safety... Imagine you're the driver... you lose traction, and start sliding backwards... I dont think you would have to worry about breaking the ski jump world record...

Yeah...the driver didn't look very natural(nervous)....its awd system is probably good enough to drive the car up...i guess the cable plays a big role to prevent the car sliding backward...

read about this audi ad when it was first done....the cable was feinitely just there to descned the car......

with the rally tires installed, (and the safety cable!!) i'd try it in our minivan !!

then again..i am routinely accused of being sick in the head.............

dunno why really.......
