Speed bumps suck...

Living in Never land, i bet the OP never in his wildest dreams expected this kind of turn out. The poor guy was just trying to show us how dumb he was one day going over a smurf speed bump, then off roading to go around it from the great idea of a honda s2000 driver.

So I was legitimately thinking about how you did this. Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm sure you will )...
You claim you hit that pebble of a speed bump on an angle. So you must have hit it on an angle going from left to right. Obviously you weren't paying attention and your front passenger tire fell off the side of the road. Then you started to hear the scraping. Figured you would give it gas... maybe tried to travel slightly further off the road (to avoid completely tearing your car apart). Kept going and couldn't get back on the road and then tried to go straight, pulling the rear tire off the road as well?!
In turn, that tiny little shlt of a speed bump (that was probably already "broken") had nothing to do with you getting stuck in the ditch.
Just wondering, am I right?
(For the record, your drop looks good... for a show car. Functionally it's useless. Nonetheless, I like the lip and drop, just not something I would do.)

Heh or bump stops. does that car have ANY suspension travel?
This car was built for show, and not for go - neither straight line nor track.
Looks good though.
My guess is that you did not try to go over the 2.5" speedbump at all. You tried to go around it and got stuck on the curb.
Then you or your buddy pulled off a section of the speed bump and placed it in front of the rear wheel thinking it would help get your car off the curb
Either way, fo sho...
Where are the photochoppers at? Cut out the pic of the kid with a chain pulling his honda out of a ditch and see if that'll help with the OP pic...
