To destroy your entire front end?

Buddy of mine was sitting behind one of these at a red light - in his Porsche (911 RS America). The truck driver let off the brake and drifted backwards right into his hood.

It looks like OP might be driving a pickup truck. There miiiiiiiiiiight be just enough clearance to do it. Wouldn't bode well for the truck, still.

The most he's gonna do is molest the cab of the ramp truck.
That's if he's able to control the bounce from engaging the ramp at speed.

Yeah I don't know why I thought differently. It's getting me negative karma. Stupid alcohol and basic reasoning skills.

Hell yea, Bob Evans that bitch!!

To steal that motorcycle? Yeah, I often have that feeling after a few hours of GTA as well.

I thought that looked familiar. Streetview

I thought the exact same thing, came here just to ask if that pic was taken in CoMo.
2
Yep, 70 and 63 in Columbia. First thing I thought of too.
2
fuck. I got all excited thinking, I KNOW THAT PLACE and found it on streetview (its been 6 years since I've been in columbia), come to post it and BAM, you and 2 others recognized it too. wtf.

OH MY GOD! I KNEW IT! My inlaws live near here in St. Peters. LOL.

The Schafly truck was a dead give away to the mighty MO.

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes, I want to drive as fast as I can at the back end of a truck and destroy my car and miss the "jump" entirely because it's not low enough.

Whatever you do, do not do it! I tried it once, and it ended poorly.
2
You would never clear the gap between the ground and the ramp
2
Damn you Crazy Taxi!

unless you have to go to "PP".

This is not how you get power ups for your car.

I posed a series of questions about this to a friend who is a huge physics nut, and I don't recall getting a concrete answer:
What would one have to do in order to get onto that thing with a car, driving behind it on a highway. Assuming the ramp is touching down on the ground.
If you drove slightly faster and got on, would you instantly burn out the tires? If you had enough traction would you instantly accelerate upon hitting the surface and fly off the front end?
How can this be done?

I think they did something like that on mythbusters

Bob Evans is not that tempting..
1
You won't do it.
1
Looks like we're gonna have to JUMP...

black dodge durango?

What is the PP sign referring to? I am genuinely concerned.
1
That's only if you have to go really bad!

My car could not get onto that ramp without additional ramps.

and then after we can smoke bongloads and play maximum overthruster.

I dunno, I went to Bob Evans for breakfast with a friend of mine. He got some sort of ham, but it had a giant chunk of fat and gristle running down it; like it was 50 percent fat/gristle. After that I wasn't quite so tempted by Bob Evans.
Yeah but that sausage is pretty good.
Dammit.
Honestly, who actively chooses Bob Evans as a restaurant? They're usually clustered with other, more compelling chain restaurants. Is it because you're visiting your ailing grandmother in her Florida retirement community, and it's the only restaurant close enough that it doesn't tire her to walk to that doesn't have the lingering stench of a Barnhill's? Why, will someone answer me?
I have no idea, personally. I lump Bob Evans in with Cracker Barrel and Perkins. It's great if you're 90 years old and enjoy food hot off of the Sysco truck, not so much otherwise.
I am guessing you love cracker barrel and cracker barrel sucks.
