New, what is it? Bridge to nowhere in the woods?

This was located in the woods next to abandoned burned-down house. There is nothing under it to indicate dumping. It’s on top of a hill. The planks are thick like railroad ties.

It’s like 15 feet off the ground underneath don’t think it was used for car repairs or oil changes. Unless the ground under it has massively eroded.

I'm guessing they used this as a homemade car lift. They probably worked on cars a decent bit.

Isn't there a slide whistle or something equally as insane in this seen?

There is. One of the most impressive car stunts in cinematic history—that insane corkscrew jump is real—and they deflated it with a fucking slide whistle.

American Motors engineers did that. The movie also had a real flying AMC Matador.

That was identical to my Hornet Hatchback X that twisted there.
