I was leaving my friend's house tonight, it is a gated community and they have a fairly low speed bump and some spikes at the exit, those spikes are the ones that you cannot roll back on or it will pop tires. I have been driving over them with no problem for a long time, but tonight my luck was bad and one of the big nails that hold the speed bump in place popped up and caught under my car. I was stuck and can not move at all, then my car somehow rolled back and my front bumper lip got caught on the spikes that are placed about 5 feet in front of the speed bump, and ripped right off. My front bumper also was torn half way off my car, bent the driver side fender a bit. I finally called AAA, they showed up in about ten minutes and saved me.










All because of this little bastard:

We hammered it back in for the safety of other people:

ahhhh, i'd kill people if i were you!!!!

 

speed bumps suck.

 

Spikes and speed bump? That's kind of excessive. That gated community must have a lot of VIP's, huh? Sucks about the nail. Lucky thing you don't have a front lip.

 

^ read closer, the op mentions he has a front lip.

 

Yah, your right. I just saw his other thread after these pics, he has the front lip on, but not in these pics.

 

that is street cred !!! slammed car FTW ricky !!!

 

those spikes look like they could pop a tire just by rolling over them regularly

 

damnn theres always that one incident to f*** your day up.. sorry bro

 

Sounds like the association is ganna fix your car.

 

damn that sucks. did the nail in the bump do any damage to the underside? I guess you have to put that bumper you picked up on now huh?

 

That’s one hell of an obstacle course!

 

I like the ingenuity of the 4x4.

 

pimpin aint easy and now low ridin aint easy, damn its hard for the pimps nowadays

 

 

dang that sucks, those wheels would be sick on my superblack, lol, and those calipers need to be painted imo, still a great looking Z, sorry to hear about the night from hell.

 

Ouch, i would never ever go back there again. Also i hope the place is paying for your repairs. That just sucks. Car looks really really sick though man.

 

Your friend's gated community is like Hotel California. You can checkout any time you like, but you may never leave.

 

hahahahaha...sorry man, but ur inconvenience just made my morning.

 

dude, I'd have whoever owns that area pay for the damage. They should be held responsible.
