Believe it or not, in another life when I was younger and crazier, we did this stunt with bowling balls on an interstate. Running 80+, passenger leans out, lets a ball go, and we try to catch up with it. I know, I know, stupid and dangerous. [Don't try this at home kids] But it was midnight on an interstate in the midwest with no other cars around. [Hope the statute of limitations is up...]
