I have posted "See Ya!" on the spolier, guess they cannot take a hint.

Me to wife, :Honey, we are going to need a bigger spolier"….Anyone want to lend me a whale tail?

There are some tracks by my house that are pretty bad. Not so much the tracks themselves, but the ramp going up and the ramp heading back down. Most cars slow to 25 mph when crossing. I have a POS truck so I hit them at the speed limit of 45. It rocks the hell out of the truck, but it's a POS anyway. The Porsche... I don't know if it's the suspension or the length between the tires, but I can hit them at 70 with no issue at all. Barely feel them.

So I'm crusing home at 45 mph and I get a tailgater. I see the tracks coming up so I get on it a bit. He continues to ride me. So I hit it. Hit the tracks at 70 mph with him right behind me. I had the top down so I got a great view of him banging his head on the roof of his car followed by his immediate slamming on the brakes. Good times.
