Thats awesome. The suspension on the 4th gens are way too soft and bouncy. Sure they are a nice ride on a smooth surface, but any bump in the road the freaking things bounce forever.

Who DOESN'T come to a railroad crossing at 50 MPH?! If only my brother knew what I do when driving his Camry....

LOL!!!

I'm going to go ahead and back this statement, I do kinda punch it, slightly, when crossing an abandoned railroad near my work every once in a while. Not anything like Dukes of Hazzard style, but just to add a little bit of the weeee factor to lighten my trip home. Granted, I do have a little more suspension travel than a stock 4th Gen, or a Camry..

The suspension in my 4th gen is way softer then dads 3rd gen. I much rather have his firmer suspension. 4th gens are just way to bouncy.

I must admit though, this was quite entertaining to watch. and I too take railroad crossings at decent speeds, but never had that happen.

LMFAO!! And the guy in the lexus is probably just like "Wtf..."

Love the close up of the air bag deployment!

Think that person was just a bit distracted coming up to them tracks. LOL
