Perhaps I just wasn't paying attention. Click to expand... So asked both daughters - they confirm hopping the curb is the correct vernacular. You must have lived on a better side of the tracks.

That's how I found out the cost of camber kit, wheel bearing, new tire, unbending steel wheel, alignment, and 2 weeks of rental car cost in total.

She states if stopped she would get up speed and give her Acura RDX gas and jump the curb. Click to expand... Wait, I'm confused. Did she say she done this in the past if she encounters a stopped train or was she just dreaming out loud?
