racing + railroad tracks = broken car

so, a modded 240sx and I found a back road that nobody uses. it seemed great - wide, straight and empty...too good to be true for our purpose. we honked, smoked the tires and launched down the straight away side by side. at about 60 mph, the great road revealed a flaw - a nice railroad track crossing with quite possiblely the worst job of binding it smoothly with the road that i have ever seen. it was like a 10 foot wide speed bump with 2 more humps (the tracks themselves) on top.

so, i slam on the brakes, try to hit it at an angle, litterly jump the intersection 4 wheels off the ground, slam down, bending two outside rims in the process and popping the right front spring out of it's housing. and i lose the race.

sheesh. what a day....

the sad thing is, i can say no to drugs, but i can't to racing....

So you were trying to copy F&F ending and you destoryed your car...common, fess up.

Sorry to hear about that. Anytime I do what you did I slowly drive the "track" to make sure there is nothing I don't see. Then I go back and let her go...
