wow this got out of hand quick lol.... you guys are great! 
On a side note, I jumped an old 2wd S-10 about 10 or 15 times on an old dirt road up near me, got about 3 or 4 feet of air over a good distance at about 80-100 km/h every time, and it still held together. I did do it while drinking one night and broke out the rear window but didn't realize it til the next day though hahaha

I tried that with a Pinto once.... (unintentionally....) A perfectly straight, ostensibly flat road...... and Railroad tracks, with the roadbed built up about four feet..... at 80..... We probably got a good six feet of air...... Landed on the drivers front tire. Both side windows exploded, the doors sprung, windshield had some REALLY cool designs in it. rear hatch blew open, and the window was just gone....... When we stopped to assess the damage..... It was VERY easy to see that the "frame" (yes, pinto is (was?) unibody) was SEVERELY tweaked. I was rather surprised we didn't have a flat tire....
Needless to say, the car was totaled. But, it certainly was an interesting ride. By the way, I swear by seatbelts.

Im sorry but I have gotten 3 maybe even 4 feet of air multiple times in my truck and its still holding together just fine, its 2wd though and it hurts like hell when you land, this was before I had to start paying repair bills
