Atlantic presents Inter Continental Ballistic Car (ICBC).

Travel from NYC to London in a less than 20mins strapped on top of rockets that were designed to carry Nukes. What can go wrong?

(sorry couldn't help)

How bad of an idea would it be to bw catapulted to your destination?

There is no form of transportation that cannot be materially improved by the addition of some form of catapult or ballistic delivery -- including catapults themselves.

Ahem...trebuchets are superior to catapults in every way.
