They had an elaborate system of strings and pulleys to open the trunk and launch the rocket if the need arose. And guess what? The need arose. The Missouri State Highway Patrol chased after these two guys, but for some reason they couldn't activate the rocket. They were so busted. Turns out they had stashed two pounds of meth inside that rocket, but weren't able to pull off the launch. Maybe it was the speed. Of the car. That was not all they had, either—apparently they had a big hot evening planned, because included in their abundant stash of other drugs were 41 Viagra tablets. – Charlie White methrocket = best car gadget ever!

The rocket never launched

Dumb asses forgot about the whole part where they have to test if it launches while in a high speed chase..
