Did you hear the Darwin Awards story about the guy who strapped a jet
engine onto his old car and took it for a ride? He crashed into the side
of a cliff in the middle of the desert. I think, given the situation you

Sometimes it's better to invest a bit more and just get an F/A-18. ;)

which was called 'Woven'. Welcome to the community. There is no escape.
