Default yikes! speed bump.

Today I went over a speed bump and as the car went down, I heard a scrapping sound, my hand was resting on the stick shift and the shifter actually jolted at the same time. Please somebody pat my head and tell me everything is going to be alright before I kill myself...

Try dropping your Z like I did mine, then you will know what a speed bump can do!
