Talking Bottomed Out, Carnage Pics!
2 weeks ago hit a bump on an uneven street near my house. I was only going about 35-40mph when it bounced and slammed back down. Busted the tranny crossmember, crossmember chassis mounts, bent driveshaft, cracked LS1 block.

damn man, that really sucks. I was showing off today and hit a gulley at ...80mph, ouch. Thank goodness my tires hitting the wheel well tops stopped me from slamming harder.
Cracked the block too? Oh, man

WOW I guess that is a major disadvantage of a slammed vehicle.
