    I have had all 4 wheels off the ground before but nothing like today. I think my stock shocks finally gave up the goast on the landing.


    The best part was the looks on the peoples faces that were walking on the other side of the road as I flew by and landed about 10 feet from the crossing on the other side.

    Do it again and get someone to take pics, then put on new suspension.

    Why did you go so fast? Was a train coming?

    Did that once....after banging my head on the ceiling, bottoming out the car and getting a mild headache I thought better of that and never made the same mistake.

    I needed to get from the west side of 285 to mountain industrial in 20 minutes and just wasn't even thinking about the tracks. I didn't remember the tracks being that way when I crossed them from the other direction.

    I did the same thing on Patterson, just not on accident and no boost involved.

    Anybody from the Fayette county area knows of Sandy Creek Rd west bound, best tracks to jump if you want to fold your subframe into the oil pan. good times and the evidence is clear from the gouges in the asphalt

    The tracks were the one's you cross on the way to the Kell estate.

    Wish I could have stayed around to help but I really needed to get to the game. I got there about 5 minutes before kick off and got to watch my son's team kick ass.



    BTW thats a nice place your dad has.

    What all broke upon landing other than your springs?

    If that's it, then Damn....Nice landing!

    Nothing broke but I will probably have to replace the shocks sooner than later.

    Thanks :)

    It was just lines, fluids and pads. Nothing major save for one stripped bolt on the passenger front hard line.

    Stupid flare wrench did NOTHING to not strip that bolt. We got it figured out, though.
    Thanks for stopping by.

    That's so awesome Mike. There are some tracks here that I dare not go more than 5 mph over!
