5.0 out of 5 stars Cars, destruction, and the most insane rocket on Mythbusters, January 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mythbusters Season 7 (Amazon Instant Video)
This is one of my favorite episodes. Spectacular crashes and high speed are both front and center throughout. The bus and the fruit stands are both entertaining, but the car drop and the rocket-powered revision to "compact compact" still leave me in awe. There's a good reason why both the car drop and the compact compact rocket sled were both featured in the Mythbusters top 25 special. Watching a compact car seemingly CEASE TO EXIST because it gets hit so hard never gets old.

Oh, and it's twice as long as a regular episode for the same price, you can't forget that!
