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...

It does look like he tried to avoid the speed bumy going on the side....not the brightest of ideas. HOWEVER I drive a fairly low Z that cannot get over the majority of speed bumps, but it is extremely functional in my eyes. If I see a speed bump that I cant get over I turn around, simple as that and find another way. Yes to some it may not be convenient......but since when is everything in your life/car about convenience? Otherwise we'd all have a stock Z

if you see a speed bump you can bypass them 1 of 2 ways.
#1 go to the edge and allow one side tires to be on the road and the other 2 to roll over the bump.
# 2 try to take the bump at an angle to only one tire touches at a time letting the other 3 hold the car up high.
or just TURN AROUND!!!!

LoL for real, get some tires that actually fit your rims, and get some wheels that actually make your car perform better not worse than stock. After closer examination im sure he did scrape on the puny bump, but its just hard to tell his drop bc his tires are so dam stretched.
