Got stuck on a speed bump last night.
So I work for at&t and a customer asked if I could come out to her house and set her stuff up. If I did she said she would sign up for everything and so I said yea of course I'd cone help.
Long story short she lived in the ghetto and I had three wonderfullll speed humps to make it over. The first one going in looked terrible, buy with a little speed I could monster truck it like I usually do. Well, I made it over and almost got stuck, come to find out I had two more coming. I went in some muddy grass to get around the other two and almost got stuck but again made it by the skin of my teeth. So I finish everything up and I have another happy customer and I left wondering how I'm
Gonna do this again. Well I found another way around the first two and got stuck on the last one. Front wheels weren't even on the ground but a bum walked up and was like cute car! I asked if he happened to have any rope and sure enough he did and I had a buddy with a truck come pull me out. So when I think I'm free at last I jump in after thanking everyone and un doing the rope my battery is dead. Thank god for owning a manual and being able to give it a little push and jumping in and popping the clutch to get er going again.
If anyone else has any stuck on shit in a slammed fit post it up!

lol, thats sound like a adventure. Im not so low that I get stuck, I avoid speed bumps like there the plague though. There is one at the place I get my hair cut and this thing is less of a speed bump and more of a F-ing curb put in the middle of the road, that one I go in the back way to avoid the thing.

haha that's funny.
I didn't get stuck, but I was in a small town yesterday with bad roads and scraped the shit out something on the undercarriage. I didn't see anything leaking, but I'm due for an oil change, so I'll assess the damage then.

LOL
but seriously... just angle those bumps properly and you should have no problem. God knows how many times I've seen people low to the ground and just crawls over bumps and scrapes instead of angling it.

i couldnt... it was one of the short tall ones. oil pan disasters happen with angle on the short tall ones.

driving a low car does have its downfalls, but gotta pay to play!
i got stuck a month back. i was going into a parking garage thinkin it wouldnt be that bad, but i turn the corner an its steep as hell. since there was no one behind me i thought i might as well take it slow. when i get to the top i feel the whole car stop. i angled as much as i could too. i look under and the whole middle of my car is on the floor. i tell my girlfriend to take the wheel and throw it in reverse, while i get out and push. sure enough a couple of hard pushs and some gas in reverse i got my car rolling down this hill. btw im lowered on function and forms
i gotta say, getting stuck made me scared as hell.

not in my fit...but i was driving in my teggy one day and got stuck on one of those raised up covers at the gas station. Just filled up and some idiot in a giant lifted truck covered in mud blocked the way out, so I had to go around and...sure enough, tried to creep over one and it felt like I had driven over a mountain, then just stopped.
he was nice enough to help me off the thing though, a little pull from his winch and I was free to go.
