I'll remember this video and yell, "Bullsh@t!" the next time I see any movie where the action hero drives up to a 747 and somehow manages to jump onto the landing gear and climb aboard the plane:

The argument for big and heavy cars...

Swany, I can't believe that you haven't tapped into your Hollywood science to help you out on this one. First, when someone is chasing a plane to hop onto the landing gear you gorget that the car is coming head on into the power of the engines so it is more aerodynamic. Fourth, you must remember that there is going to be certain "streams" of the engine force that don't completely cover the entire area behind the plane. So it would be possible to drive the car between the streams and this is easily done by lining the car up with the fuselage of the plane. And finally, the reason it could work is because you just don't believe.
Yeah, in my realization that I'm getting older, I'm becoming more grumpy and more dubious about such things. You must be getting old and senile, too, because I can't figure out where your second and third points are. Or maybe that's my dementia that somehow can't see where you posted those points.
As far as being more aerodynamic, unless it was an F1 race car or a sleek Lamborghini (which would be kind of a cool scene that Michael Bay has probably already used in one of his films), I'm still skeptical that the automobile wouldn't be completely blown off the tarmac like in the video.
But now that I think about it, how could I not believe? After all, wasn't it the legend himself, Chuck Norris, who did almost the exact same move on a motorcycle in The Delta Force to catch up with his buddies in the C-130 that was taking off? Then again, that was Chuck Norris--no other mere mortal could accomplish such supernatural feats.
