Title: I hate big speed bumps
Post by: clapton924 on September 22, 2009, 01:04:36 PM
I hate parking lots with excessively large speed bumps.  Yesterday I nearly tore off one of my front mud guards....one of the screws got pulled through the attachment hole and the guard no longer sits flush with the body.

Dammit!

why do our cars even have mud guards? I took those bitches off the first day I got my car lol.

What I hate are those big ass speed tables. People freak out behind me when they see me go over them like grandmaw

Was just creeping over them....damn things stick up like 6" off the ground.  Perhaps I should just remove them to increase my ground clearance.  And I'm only dropped 1.5"

The location of the incident is a 2-way road...cant go sideways or I would be in the other lane.

Yeah, speed humps are very annoying.  
Hell, if I have a choice, I go to gas stations that have a low sloped entrance or totally go grandma mode.
Price of living the low life...

AIR RIDES FOR EVERYONE !!

My school used to have this ridiculous speed bump... let's just say it was removed within the next two days. It was literally a foot and a half tall. The only way to go over it is if you had an SUV, lol.

meh, just pull the mud guards off..  but yeah, i remember hitting a huge speed bump at my friend's place..  i angled the car and everything also, but once my front tires cleared, all i heard was this big thump.. gladly, no damage..   i couldn't even tell where the car hit it, but luckily no scrape..

I got my car stuck on my friends driveway trying to back out of it. There are these little metal looking skis that took the damage. I havent hit any speed bumps though.

my mud guards sit about 1/2 inch off the ground, I purposely like it because now i cant go over them at all, so i dont have to worry about anything

Stage 1 yo!

I thought the front bumper weight was stage 1? Or is the intake resonator stage 1? I'm so confused.

They are all stage 1.
