Evel Kneivel tried to jump the Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls ID in 1974. He had this machine called a Skyrocket. Shortly after launch a chute deployed and the stunt was a failure. The attempt is featured in the opening segment of a new Audi Commercial. Quoting from a press release,” It's with this spirit that Audi returns to Snake River Canyon (home to the one of the greatest daredevil sites of all time) to demonstrate the excitement surrounding one of our latest performance models—the RS 5.” The Audi RS 5 model is a 450 HP, V-8 powered performance coupe. I’d like to get behind the wheel  of this car for oh, a couple hundred miles.
