Mysti and Mt Everest

aw man.. I forgot to tell you guys.. had my first speed bump encounter w/ the splitter yesterday...

I was in the Toys R Us parkinglot line of people behind me cuz I FROZE UP.. there were 3 speedbumps in front of me that looked like MOUNTAINS (the really weren't but I was imagining it from the splitters POV) I couldn't go around them cuz there were a line of people and I could do the drive over it w/ 1 side of the car thing, because they were strategically placed 3 smaller speedbumps.. so only thing to do was tackle them straight on...

To all my lowered brothers and sisters out there, I have a question...
Why is it whenever you know there's impending doom to your car you clinch your ***? Like when you're dropped, and you see a dip or pothole that's unavoidable, you clinch your *** and raise out of the seat, like that's going to make you and the car weightless and you'll both float over the obstacle.. LMAO... Man, I clinched so hard, I think I popped a blood vessel...

back to the story...

I slowly edged up to the speedbump and waited for the scrape cuz I knew it was unavoidable.. (by this time 2 cars had already gone around me and were staring at me me as they drove by thinking I'd fallen asleep or something because I was going so slow.. I didn't care, they just don't understand what was at stake here.. This was a HUGE obstacle..) Again I crept forward... wait for it.. wait for it... wait for it.... tire hit... I was clear, blood returned to the lower extremety of my body which was now falling asleep due to constriction.. I rolled into my parkingspot and looked back at the car all the way into the store, almost running into a car's rear view mirror.. I just felt like me and my car overcame Mt. Everest together..

man it's stressful being low but OH SO WORTH IT!!!!

I had to hit the flashers and kill the car at Toy R Us in Lewisville. I waited like 10 minutes for everyone to clear out. Reversed and got outta there.

Dude, I was trying to get to the Academy at Parker/Tollway a couple weeks ago.

I pulled in to the rear side of the strip center and started cruising along the back side. Some A$$CLOWN thought it would be a great idea to NOT paint the damn speed bump that was back there. Couple that with the fact that the sun was going down and was at JUST the right angle to pretty much blind me.

Those two facts together resulted in me driving, sans brakes, at about 15-20 mph right over the speed bump. I literally came to a screeching stop, cursed in a way that would make sailors blush, and then did the only thing that I could do...drive on. Somehow, I managed to not jack up my lip. You want to talk about a$$ clinching? I clinched so hard right after it happened that I practically crapped out of my ****. Damn I was pissed!

Why raise your car on bags when you can literally jump it...
