LOL that's awesome and terrible at the same time, that would tear the front of my bird off or crack the pan no doubt! And I loved how people just didn't seem to learn when they see another car bouncing around in front of them.

People dont see the car in front of them hit the big bump and wanna slow down, some people. ROFL that is funny keep them coming.

On the 2nd vid when the two cars hit it back to back after the truck went around it cracked me up, not cause of the bump but because of the stupidity they have LMAO!

I live close to that and saw it last night when I went to the auto parts store. Some lady got air in her Xterra cause she didn't slow down for it. She looked terrified.

It is right by the Supermercado do Walmart. Believe it or not it was in even worse shape when I was there a couple nights ago in an 18 wheeler. There was a hole so big at the start of it that the rockers and rear bumpers of cars would smash on it even if they took it slow.
