I was going to complain about this morning sucking, but I don't think I can when I compare it to BFG's morning
Hey gang
Have a good day
BFG's situation reminds me of a time I was in stopped traffic on 183 once and decided to brave a short curb with the Z. It was a sloping curb about 3-4 inch tall, which I made it over without incident. I probably saved myself an hour or more. This was in the first few months of ownership, and thankfully, I've never had a to pull something like that since. Although that is exactly the kind of reason I'm glad I'm not lowered.
( Click to show/hide )I took it at about a 5 degree angle and didn't scrape. I had to turn 90 degrees as soon as I cleared the curb to avoid another curb because I was crossing the on ramp lane (I was in a line of cars in the shoulder that were all crossing this curb).
This is the street view from 183. I crossed the curb just past the road sign.

This is the street view from the on ramp lane looking backwards. I crossed just this side of the road sign and managed to cross the asphalt before the median on the left of the screen.

A person that had cut me off hard core earlier in the traffic ended up behind me as I was making this maneuver. She rolled her big a$$ buick over the curb at probably 10 mph well before the road sign. I don't know if she just didn't see me earlier or whether she wanted to make up for her a$$hat maneuver when she cut me off, but as I was making my cautious 1/4 mph crossing, she was nice enough to block the left lane of the frontage road to let me in front of her
