[TOYROTA] Regular Location: A.C.T Registered: July 2002	Re: I hate speed humps Sat, 07 September 2002 11:49 You guys think you have it bad! i have to go over two speed humps at Lake Ginninderra College every day getting into the carpark and then on the way out. The thing is however, nomatter how much i slip the clutch, and no matter how diagonal i go over them, my car not only scrapes the exhaust tip along the ground, it scrapes the WHOLE exhaust all along the speed bump the whole leng of the bump. As well as this, the jacking points (those seam bits that run down the side of the car) are all completely flat and level with the undercarriage of the car, and there are several trails of oil after the bumps where my sump has had enough and has started leaking as i drive off. ALL of this infront of the whole school, all my friends, all the teachers, all the chicks, infront of everyone and when i drive off with oil leaking out from under my car it's one of the most embarrasing things you can do! I have gone through 3 sumps and 5 exhausts in the 1 3/4 years of going to the stupid school. My car is currently in the process of getting a metal plate wealded onto the 5th exhaust after a hole has been scraped onto it over 10cm long. i am sick of buying new exhausts all the time, even though they are only around $20 each, they are too thin and wear through to quickly. Admittedly the school's speed humps aren't the only ones i go over on a regular basis, but if they were only 5-6 cm shorter, they wouldn't pose such a big problem. And i'm not the only one either, there are heaps of modified cars that go to my school and everyone scrapes on them. It has come to a point now where people deliberately do burnouts on them to eat away at the soft tar mix so as to shorten the hump! just go there and take a look at the mauled-up humps, it's a sight to see!
