    This was a awesome show (as usual). I loved the viewer's myths! Soo clever. For a second, I thought you could stop a car in reverse, but as usual, my sences were wrong. The thing that amazed me about this episode, was the car explousion action! CAR GO BOOOM. Ever seen Adam in the matrix movie before? Well, I think he should think about doing a matrix movie. lol, also another myth, open the car door with a tennis ball. I knew that would never ever work. When I saw the vid, I knew it was a bunch of ballony. But I give this episode 2 thumbs way up!moreless

    So this was a fun episode. How many times in life have you heard some random story or watched some video on you tube and wondered if that could really happen. Well the mythbusters were nice enough to help us out with this. They took the most popular (and one of the strangest) questions and comments of the viewers of the website and decided to test them. There was one about a tennis ball opening a car door, busted. And another that sneezing with you eyes open will cause your eyeballs to pop out, also busted. But my favorite was the kid that wanted his parents car to be blown up, no myth, he just wanted to see it go boom.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The Mythbuster team actually busted the myth of stopping a car by putting it in reverse already in a previous episode. This happened in season 3, episode 3 where they were testing whether a broken drive shaft on the front joint of a car vault can cause a car to pole vault after it hits a pothole. During the trial runs for this myth Jamie accidently put the test car in reverse and saw that nothing happened. Edit
    • The "Eye-Popping Sneeze" myth was requested by over 10,000 people, making it the most-requested myth in the show's history. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Chris Cannello requested that the Mythbusters blow-up his parent's car. The Mythbusters asked if it was ok with his parents. Edit
    • The reason Grant couldn't stop the automatic car in reverse, was because of a safety feature built in the car. Edit
    • During this episode, Adam had another one of his "What the hell are we doing?" moments. Edit

    • Jamie: We should take some safety percautions. Adam: Yeah, I don't want to get glass all over my back. Edit
    • Adam: How far do you want us to be on this one? Frank: A long way away. (Adam laughs) A looong way away. Edit
