Expensive ass gas

[Jeff]

The first time I have ever had 4 wheels in the air was a funny story. I was driving a van for the Garage to test and see if a problem would return. They often make this my job over the summer. I was in a 1500 Dodge Cargo van choc-full-o' computer parts. I set out to an area near Woodstock call Saumsville. There is a road back there called "the bumps" and I had never been on it...I was setting out to find it. I was going about 55-60 down a normal country road when all of a sudden... the ground just dropped out from under me. This huge van was 4-wheels in the air going 50Mph!!! I know that is slow...but it made the whole 4 seconds of airtime much more dramatic. When I hit the ground it hit all 4 bumb stops and I almost peed my pants. Then I crested another hill and OH SHIT... happened again. I got slowed down enough by the third one that I just got the sensation of cresting a hill on a rollercoaster. Now that was some skydiving. A friend of mine totaled his 71 Mustang out there back in the day.
