Dramatic "car over cliff" video from Tortilla Flats drive.

If you've ever taken your RV over the nasty curves of Arizona State Route 88 out of Apache Junction, and on through Tortilla Flats, you'll know it's not a highway for the faint-of-heart. Last November a young local fellow took his shiny BMW, equipped it with a video cam, and tried his hand at a little road racing.

The video, released last week, relates a heart-pounding, head-banging experience of running your car off the road and over a cliff. Nobody seriously hurt -- other than the insurance company. Nah, don't show it to your teenage drivers as a precautionary tale, they'll just want to know where they can try it!
