June 28th, 2007 01:37 AM #1I just want to share to all of you my fellow tsikoteers my experince in C5 Road at Taguig and to know your opinions of what might be the damage to the car that has jumped from a ramp or an inclined bridge.
I was going back home to pasig one night from parañaque and I always take the villamor C5 exit. Before I enter C5, what I do is I usually look for cars that are ricey, usually dressed up cars, with mufflers on, or cars that looks so fast. If I've seen one then I usually provoke them to test their car if they could catch up with me by tailgating and then overtaking and if they saw that agressiveness they would race me up to the intersection of Buting, Pasig. I drive a Honda Civic 97 with an automatic tranny and I usually end up winning but not all because there are other
cars that are fast enough.
Then that night there are few cars on the road bound to the same way I am going and I've never seen one except for a new black altis. I don't know if it is a 1.6 or 1.8 variant and I overtaked his car, I am speeding up to 120 kms. and was looking at the side mirrors if he is trying to catch up. I know he saw me and he was very eager to overtake my car. He wasn't able to do that and when we were approaching a small inclined bridge along C5, I decided to lose some momentum and reduce speed, but he continues to speed up not knowing that the bridge is totally elevated.
The bridge was like a motocross ramp, inclined on both ends but the other side is deep enough to launch you off the ground. So, it happened! The car launch to the air 3 to 4 feet high and was nosediving. I really saw the underneath of his car, I was overwhelmed at that instance! Like I've seen in the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie when Paul Walker's GTR was launch to the air and then landing on the otherside! I am also aware of the fact that an accident might occur because the car was nosediving.
But after landing he gains control due to the fact that he was driving straight but large amount of sparks was produced underneath his car and I don't know which parts underneath came contact on the ground. Maybe the bottom part of the front bumper, the wishbone support of the front wheel and maybe the underneath part of the engine. Do you think that the front shock absorbers may have damage as well?
What do you think guys would be the damage to that black altis after that launch?

i think that is the bridge before nearing the market market exit. be careful bro. it's really tempting to speed up at C5 in those points probelm diyan mga tao na tumatawid lalo na pag wee hours. safe driving!

Why don't you just go to the tracks and ask people there to race with you?
IMHO, racing on public roads are unsafe to you, your stock civic AT, and to the other innocent drivers on the road. Though its really a matter of self control, you still should'nt be provoking drivers to race with you on public roads...kinda childish don't you think?..unless youre IN the Fast and the Furious movie.

ayus yun ah!
pag napapadaan din kami dun mejo napapaganun un oto namin, pero mild lang, mala-roller coaster lula lang ang dating. sarap!
pero delikado rin un. may ganyan din ramp road sa kalentong bridge if you're from sta mesa towards shaw. baka di pa nya natatry dun, ok rin ang ramp nun. hehe
actually ok lang nosedive na bagsak, wag lang sobra. kasi pag una likod ang bagsak nya, baka tumalsik sya paharap or maalog sya sa kinakaupuan nya. baka dati na nya ginagawa un. ipusta mo ba naman ang altis eh.
basta umandar pa ayos lang yun! modelo pa naman yun ride eh. possible brain damage

Magbago ka na bata, habang maaga. Hindi naman kasi pangkarera ang ride mo, kahit Honda pa yan (AT??)
Parang weird din ang ugali mo, after you indirectly caused the Altis to have an accident, you express concern??
Ang tagal na ibinalita yang ban. Tapos warning pa ang ginawa first few days. Yung mga nahuli pa...
