Here, we call them speed bumps. I always hated the people who went slow over them too. But now, in my ninth month of pregnancy - I HAVE to go real slow, or I'll either throw up or pee my pants. Reggie, just be glad you don't live near me ;)

Haven't you covered this topic before? If it still bothers you, maybe you should get help. Kidding ;) !

Anyway, we have plenty of both here on STX. There's nothing we can do about them so we deal with them. I hate it when people drive too fast on our roads with all the little critters running around.

A traffic hump/bump killed my Mazda 6. I now despise these. A hump/bump you ask? Yes! It was a traffic hump with a traffic bump on top! So it was this massive thing taking up all of my road. While going over this hump-de-bump in a slightly faster than I should have manner, I cracked something in the bottom of my car which would allow oil to slowly drain out without my knowledge. Then one day the oil light came on. To me that means "Check your oil". So I figure I am save for a few miles till I get to an auto parts store. In fact this means, "Hey jackass, you have no oil, no I am gonna kill your engine". So come 8am on my way to work one Friday, I am dead stopped in the middle of an intersection. People do not take kindly to this.

Lucky for me I am both witty and convincing because somehow I got insurance to claim it as a collision and I only had to pay the $250 deductable toget the $4000 engine replaced. I then sold that POS and bought my lovely 4runner. Now I do not fear the hump-de-bump.
