Lol @ "catched"

But yeah, its extremely unlikely you left the ground completely. You just had a floating feeling and a rough landing back onto the springs.

Go faster next time.

How about the White crosswalk lines? Sounds like loss of traction more that air. Especially and 40 mph.

I used to jump my pathfinder on a bridge when I was 17 all the time.

Until the time I hit it at 70 mph and almost lost it.

Never again!

Think of it as "exercising" the suspension. Steve McQueen did it. So can we.

Lol so you were pretty much like this?
When I had my 01 GT, I was racing a crotch rocket through some twisties in a canyon near me. I was very familiar with t he road, but had never driven it that fast before. I went up a slight rise that dropped rapidly afterwards and all 4 came off the road. I stopped to check everything to see if it was okay. No damage but a hell of alot of fun!

"Caught" air, okay guys... *pulls the dutch card* There you go, instant disclaimer. As a foreigner I am allowed to butcher your language a bit...

Situational awareness I had not. Second time I drove there, I thus consider this a free-bee. Won't repeat it. The place I left the tarmac (or my springs where all stretched out SonicBlue05GT mentioned) was on top of a small hill that was a bit more steep than initially thought.

Anyway, everything ended up okay in the end, but I don't think this is the right time to ask if anyone knows any good SC (kenne-bell non ic kit) installers around Dallas... [&:]
