Okay, and odd title, but let me continue.
I recently read a 15+ page argument on another board about what would happen in the following scenario...
You are traveling 62mph(~100kph). There is another vehicle (let's say, a car carrier truck as pictured below, with a ramp to the roadway :p ) moving at another, slightly slower speed.

If the car were to drive up a ramp into the back of the truck, what would happen?
A. The car would drive up and be able to hit the breaks to stop on the truck.
B. The car would traveling at 62mph on the back of truck and thus unable to stop before flying off the other end.
C. your theory.
I've made up my mind, and am frankly astonished at the amount of conversation this derived on another board. However, I believe the PF crowd to be slightly of higher intelligence, and thus don't expect such a large deviation in answers
