Europe somewhere? He/she must have been going a bazillion mph to launch it into the roof like that.

Should be a simple enough physics problem to determine speed.  The car was a Skoda.  Assume 1 metric tonne.  The distance was estimated at 100 feet or about 30 meters.  The angle can be approximated by the video in the link listed in the first post above.  The rest, as they say in the textbooks, is an exercise left for the reader to solve.  :rofl2:
