Man lives after 'driving car over Grand Canyon rim'

Is there anything out there, or is it just more of the same?

I can't figure out what blows my mind more, that he survived, or the fact he climbed out.
Please Lord, keep me alive as long as I live.

I wonder if AAA tow coverage would apply in this situation...

What troubles me is that most of the articles say "Man says he survived..." Either there's doubt that he actually "plunged" into the Grand Canyon, or there's doubt that he survived. I tend to believe people when they say they're alive :?

It's probably just the way my mind works (or doesn't...) but the irony of this thread immediately preceding this one:

Car camp near or in the Grand Canyon

is just too funny...

We all know how your mind works.. :D

I'm wondering if this guy bailed out before the car went over.
I mean really 200 feet is 200 feet tree or not and does anyone know if this was straight down or was there any type of slope?
