Not really a kill, but i was behind some dipsh!t who was purposely not letting me pass on a two lane road before the onramp to the bridge here in fremont. He was boxing me in on purpose and then speeding up slightly just to be an ass. When a small opening appeared, I shot thru there like a rocket and just kept going. It was along the wide open field area close to Dunbarton on Paseo Padre. Its all commercial and you can see for a long ways so I kept accelerating. Besides the guy I passed, there was no one on the road either direction between me and the onramp. I hit about 105 (think of that ticket in a 45 ), and i went over a small hump in the road where there was a stop sign for a turn into some computer park, and I caught air!! The engine rev'd really fast up to redline and then when I touched down, it chirped and was pulled back down to the normal rpm for the gear / speed (is 8500 normal )

weeha dukes of hazard! Kinda scared me but then i'm like.. I gotta go try that again tomorrow.

 

Um

 

I hope noone 's unlucky enough to buy your car used

 

Be sure when you try it again to take your suspension and transmission with you....That will be one way to get a kill...of your own car.

 

It didn't bottom out at all, it was just a nice comfortable jump, nothing scraped. I might have made it sound like i was bounced and hit hard, but it didn't. It was just a small leap. Ya like i'm gonna beat the sh1t out of my car i've been wanting since 1996. I take care of it very very very well, but I drive it how it was made to be driven. No one is going to buy my car because I'm not going to sell it for quite some time. You have to expect that any sports car with a good amount of miles on it (mine is my daily driver) is going to probably be driven the way it should be driven. It kills me to see grandpa driving an S2000 and never Vtec'd in its life, or when someone just drives their S every other other weekend and hasn't even changed the oil once cause he only has 2000 miles on it and its almost 2 years old. That is criminal.

 

My Dad used to jump his black NSX at an intersection by his condo - all four wheels off the ground. He beat the tar out of that car, then later sold it for $50K in cash (Cdn) and a brand new 240SX convertible (for his wife) thrown in. He only paid $85K Cdn for it brand new, so he practically got his money back after a year and a half. He could afford to beat them up back then - the last one he bought got significantly better treatment.

 

Woohoo! Jumping cars is the best!

I used to jump my old Buick LeSabre over some RR tracks. On a crotch rocket you could get some pretty good air, and in a small car you could do pretty good, but in an old full size sedan with a V8, you could get up to speed faster, and get some decent air, and take all your friends with you

 

That's the funniest comment in this post.

 

It's pretty easy to get air in the S. There's a stretch of road here that I run sometimes. It's a short road with a couple of small humps. I get up to 70 - 80 mph before having to brake for a stop sign. Anyway, I used to run this road in my Eclipse GSX, now in my S. Both cars would reach about the same speed, but the S (with its tighter suspension) gets some air. The Eclipse didn't. The revs jump up for an instant, then it touches back down gently. Took me by surprise the first time, but now....

 

I was in New Brunswick last weekend and there's a road there with a really sharp rise in it (it's a small hill, about 20 feet high and quite steep in comparison to most). I'd driven on it before and love to go fast over it because of that "sinking" feeling you get going over the top. Last time was in my Acura, though, and it stuck to the road. The past time, I did it in my Accord and got the front right wheel off the ground. Talk about a surprise - I definitely don't want to wipe out on a narrow country road doing 60mph. Fun, though, no matter how unintentional.
