I don’t think your story has the intended effect. All you’re saying is that it was loud and scary but no one got hurt. If I was a dumbass teenager that would probably make me want to do it even more.
But yes, that would be incredibly stupid.

To preface this story, miraculously and thankfully no one was hurt:
Back in the day when I was young and excessively stupid and had my first car my buddy and I were driving around the city drunk as fuck. Doing laps on the highways circling the city, we drove through the college campus (like literally through the campus, stairways, quad, etc), and at one point I found some vacant hanger with what looked like a small airstrip.
So we’re testing the poor cars top speed (or more accurately how much can it vibrate before I loose control) and I see a ramp or what looked like a ramp. Obviously I swung around and floored it.
The car survived, but I learned that night to never ramp off anything in a car. Hitting the pavement was the most godaweful sound I’ve heard from a car firsthand.
Never ever ever EVER do anything like that, people. That has to be my dumbest night in my life. Decades later I’m still amazed no one was hurt and still shocked no one even saw us do all that shit. I would think it was a lucid dream if my buddy wasn’t there and talked about it the next day. That could have easily been the last night of our lives, and God forbid someone else’s.
TL;DR No, don’t try ramping off of it.

Ideally hearing stories is a way of experiencing them. And trying to make sure the people hearing the story understand is faults is a way of telling them not to make the same mistakes as in the story.
That’s how it worked for thousands of years until movies and TV.
If you’re just being pedemic about it though, then no there isn’t any story that’s going have it’s intended effect.
Sorry, I didn’t realize I was talking to a Greek philosopher. How dare I goof on the internet.
What does pedemic mean?
I’m with you, I was totally on board until the reply.
Every once in awhile I’ll see a very low hanging car carrier truck on the road, and I’ve always wanted to try just driving up onto it while they are still moving. I’m guessing you are the kind of person to tell me that’s a bad idea too.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/BBacN9IgjrA
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Bad bot. That’s a nice idea but it needs to work. YouTube video loads instantly. This just stalls and doesn’t work. You are fighting an uphill battle, you don’t stand a chance if tech isn’t any good.
You really shouldn’t encourage people like me.
Depends. Can you make it before anyone realizes what’s going on?

This ramps straight into a cemetery, though, so kinda a one stop shop, no?

I suppose there are worse ways to go. Have fun!
