Scrape the bottom of my car on these damn speed bumps. Sucks! Worst sound and feeling.
I still cant decided whether its that or the sound of grinding gears. I honestly say sorry to my car when that happens and my friends always laugh.

You know what really grinds my gears? Speed bumps.




Yeah I do agree though, the sound of the car scraping or the gears grinding in the tranny hurt you inside.

Much like Saki GT, my neighborhood has opted to put speed bumps to "calm traffic". Never in my 7 years of traveling up and down this road (walked/biked to school everyday until I had a car to drive) have I ever witnessed a single severe traffic infraction that would put someone's life at risk. In my opinion, these speed bumps do nothing but put lives at risk. I have to drive over these speed bumps at ridiculously low speeds to avoid harming my car, and multiple times I've had some idiot pass me while I'm crawling over the speed bump and almost hit a biker that was traveling on the road. Another time I have witnessed a police cruiser speed down the road with sirens on and the speed bump tore off the rear bumper. I can only imagine what it would be like if a fire truck or an ambulance had to travel up or down the road.
Must be a Toronto wide thing! My neighbourhood had no problems at all, now we are flooded with speed bumps. Only 1 way out that has none, hope they keep it that way!
