While on a speed bump

[geisencam]

While on a speed bump is it normal to only go half way up it and the car roles back wards, even with a automatic?

Yes, same thing happens when on a steep hill.
Gravity is stronger than the itle rpms.

I always try and go as sideways as possible, to avoid ripping everything off from the bottom of the car. I'im SOOOOOO glad I'm not lowered, as there are some monster bumps out there. What are people thinking?

LOL! I remember when my bro were driving to his gf's, in this aparement place and I was going SO slow that it rolled back down, he was laughing so hard because I was so paranoid (sp?)

there is a pro/con about going sideways over them.
+ you don't scrape things underneath
- you'll throw your car out of alignment

you're better off going real slow over it with both front wheels going over it at the same time.

Also when you get to speed Humps, its cool to take it ot about 90 and hop it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
