Fun in the snow - with some reprocutions

[taxx]

Well I like to have fun in the snow. Don't we all?

When I go to class they have the parking lots plowed with mounds between the rows (like you park then mound than a car facing you). So I park on them sometimes for a little flex. This morning I had a lab and got there early and this lot is always pretty empty. So I decided to just run through them. Was actually fun, however due to the warmer weather we have had they are pretty solid. So I hit this first one a little too hard and the front end came up quite a bit for the speed I was going. Then BANG! I came down hard as hell. Once i parked I took a quick look and everything looked fine. On my way back to the office I noticed a bit more sway and bounce. Yep you guessed it I busted a shock off at its mount.

Not a big whoops but still a whoops.

Sorry Shaun! (i'll have it fixed soon)

that sucks.... good thing it was onlya shock though... would have sucked more if you snapped a torsion bar

 

[taxx]

Yup. But it can be fixed easily with a weld. T-bar would have sucked!

Even with the breaking shock it was fun!

See, and you guys give the pavement queens such a hard time. It's tough out on the blacktop too! LOL

of course, doing it is fun, but the aftermath sucks... will i ever try to shove my truck up a tabletop barely wide enough for it? hell no, i dont mind rolling, it doesnt scare me, but i do mind all the $ and time it is going to cost me once i get the truck rubber side down......
