@GabeWillard Real world aerodynamics is somewhat complex. Have you seen actions of Battle Hawk helicopters?

| Nov 3, 2012 at 4:46 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @Mario You can NOT push car from inside TO PROPEL YOURSELF. Simply, conservation laws invalidates it. | |
| Nov 3, 2012 at 4:45 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @Mario I admit that magic dominates physics, but OP did want physics based explanation. | |

| Nov 3, 2012 at 0:41 | comment | added | Mario | In a world, where you've got a Magical Flying Bommerang Magic Hammer you're talking about physics being epic fail? Also: You CAN push a car from the inside. You just can't just "push" it, you have to use your momentum (it's easier if you're sitting on a chair with wheels and try to get it to move without touching the ground). With real cars your chances are next to nil though, simply due to your weight difference. | |
