Default Ever get air in your car?

Was driving this weekend on a road with some other owners and we came up on this road that was like a stiar case, since i was never on i went up it pretty fast, the first "whoop" i hit the back tire broke loose and spun like an aero lift. the second set i thought i got the front off the ground and the car reved freely before the rears got back on the ground.

I know this is a strage topic and i'm sure i'll get flamed but i was just wondering if anyone has done this before. i was also surprised that the car put up with this abuse pretty well, it didn't feal like anything bottomed and my oem lip never hit the pavement...

so i want to do it agin

Never caught air, but have gone over dips and bumps hard enough to scrap bottom. That wasn't fun.

yah i've caught air ... was going up a turn and it had a huge bump in it apparently. hit the bump and my suspension fully compressed then it rebounded me and i caught some air.

now on my motorcycle, i've really caught some air... hit these huge rolling hill things at ~130mph and caught about 2 seconds of air.

I've caught some air once when I forgot about a dip on the road. It was the first time my friend sat in my car and he thought I was crazy.

Haha I did that as well. Mainly because it was night, I couldn't see shit and had no sleep so I managed to kind of jump a mini canal. Boys in the back weren't to happy. Also did a lot of impromptu muddin
