Street I used to live on had them put in due to speeding, namely one of our neighbors. Guy had a K5 lifted to the hilt, drove that thing like a hot rod all the time . Once the speed bumps were put in him and his buddies would just go faster down the street to try and get air going over them

Maybe, but it still hurts me when I scrape coming out of my driveway. I admire your attitude; I wish I could be so calm about it.
