What a tagteam, you horrible person. :-) 'Well you know, I didn't WANT to flatten his head, but there was this car coming and stouff, so I thought "well what the heck, can't get any dedder'nat"'.

I sometimes slow down for tracks, whether in the Focus or the F150. We don't have guardbars here in NB. Most of the level crossings are just that, level. The ones at the end of my road aren't too level, though, and going over them at high speeds will kill your suspension very quickly.

Y'know, if you start crossing the tracks at 5mph, and a train is coming, you're not going to have time to get away. If someone slowed down on their way to the tracks, then sped up when they saw that there weas no train, I could understand. But this person didn't speed up until they were well on the other side of the tracks.
And my suspension is just fine, thank you very much.

Yes, the only way to display our masculinity and attract the most desirable mates is to prove the worth of our railroad-crossing strategy!

I would point out that he said "Why, you ask? Because who wants to die because the guardbars failed to come down.".
And, as I said, the Jeep didn't slow down to approach the tracks. It slowed down when it got to the tracks, then sped up on the other side. So, they already knew no train was coming. Or, if one had been and they were completely oblivious, they would have slowed down just in time to be smashed into itty bitty Jeeplets.

Ah. So, your argument is that a vehicle which is supposedly designed for off-raod driving is actually incapable of crossing a levelled railroad/street intersection w/o damaging itself? Then we're in agreement.
