I learned a big lesson this weekend. Well 2 lessons:

1. My name is not Bo or Luke

2. My Cube is not a stunt car or the General Lee

We were driving up to Brooklin (ontario) with really really bad directions from mapquest. We ended up on a 2 lane back country road. It was beautiful as heck... but definetly not where we were supposed to be!

Anyhoo. There was this one stretch that was quite hilly so I decided to speed up a little over the hills so we could get that funny roller coaster feeling in our bellies... you know the feeling? I kept commenting on how fun it would be to launch the car like in Dukes Of Hazzard.

We went over a few and we were fine. There was a mini van in front of us an i noticed that it bounced a little at the bottom of one hill so i knew to expect a little something. Well, what i got was the biggest/loudest crash/bump ever!

The first thing i thought was that i blew a tire cause the steering column was shaking a bit. Pulled over, got out... tires were fine, rims were fine... the body as far as i could tell was fine.

I got back in and started driving and did my good old "wheel alignment check" by letting go of the steering wheel to see if it pulled to the left or right... all was well. whew.

I took it in today just in case to make sure i didnt ruin anything that wasn't visible to me. My super awesome mechanic at the Nissan Dealership giggled when i told him what i had done then asked me how fun it was! I love the dudes at my dealership. They gave it a good once over and confirmed that I had bottomed out and scratched the underneath of the cube, but nothing that i should worry about.

All in all... it was fun and it was scary. But from that moment forward i will never forget that my Cube is not the General Lee!!! LOL
