I can surrender enough disbelief whan a car leaps over the back end of another car (using a hidden ramp), instead of simply crashing into it and halting abruptly (like would happen to you and me), but defying gravity and flying majestically for hundreds of feet in the company of birds and cumulus clouds and airplane traffic?.... no. Keep it real!

Actually, in that scene near the end of the movie, he jumped those cars using an inclined tow-truck flatbed as a ramp. But the car appeared to jump so high, and was going to fast, that there's NO WAY it would have been in one piece and still driveable when it landed.
They fell victim to the "Dukes of Hazzard" syndrome! hahaha.... the mysterious "indestructible car".... No matter what happened to the General Lee on that show, in the next scene it was running just fine, and didn't have a scratch on it!
