It was like a scary movie when you're on the 2x6, i'm waiting for something bad is going to happen. I thought it was gonna snap and damage your rear bumper. Glad it didnt.

Wowow! That's rough but the video was a bonus. Funny, but biting nails the entire time watching! Luckily the side skirt was the only and least of the damage!

That was hard to watch. I wanted you to stop when I heard the first crack.

Your reactions and outbursts did make me laugh though. Btw, I know where you live .
2 of my cousins live in separate houses across from you. I also grew up there for 10 good years of my life.

ouchh. that doesn't look pleasant at all. i couldnt see from the camera shots but why didn't you try to take it at an angle? .. usually going straight back will tear something up. i had my ings side skirt rip off from riding to low when i had hit a groove on the road.

Your car looks hot, but it's just too damn low for everyday use. I've seen some gas stations around here that have higher inclines than that. I don't think I could deal with it taking 5-10 minutes getting the car out of the garage to go to work everyday. I know you said you usually park outside, but it would just bug me to have a garage and not be able to get in it every night.
