I have a great deal of skepticism that this actually happened, much less happened this year. http://www.snopes.com/autos/dream/jato.aspIf you're going to make shit up, at least make shit up that's not 15 years old...

Hmm, I didn't think to check snopes. Gotta admit it makes for a good story though.

And the Mythbusters eps they did on that one are great!

As soon as I read the first two sentences of the winner, I guessed which one it was... Yup... JATO. Very old and very false. Thanks for posting anyway.

That Mythbusters episode is great, to actually see a car with a rocket mounted on the roof then later on they tried it in the trunk for another Myth IIRC.
