crosvs is on a distinguished road
Red face *ouch* entered parking lot ramp too fast :(

wow. i'm embarassed. i don't think i've EVER made THAT kind of mistake before lol.

that hurt. i was turning off sports arena blvd into the starbucks parking lot and had to enter faster than planned due to a small hole in on-coming traffic, and my timing to brake-rebound the car over the ramp was off rather significantly lol ...

you know the brake-rebound trick right? where you come in relatively fast for the ramp, brake HARD, and let off the brakes juuuuust before hitting the ramp so compression from braking lightens the nose going up the ramp?

yeah well, i totally mis-timed it and bounced so hard into that ramp that i heard my law case books in the rear come crashing back down after catching some air lol.

obviously my concern turned to the front suspension -- everything feels TOTALLY fine and no particular noises whatsoever ...

everything should be ok, right??
