... but it was not a very big one. Big enough to cause the twins to raise up then slap the front of the seat though. DAMN that is not comfortable.

That is all.

There is nothing worse than hitting a speed bump at 50/mph. Can you imagine?

I've never been on roads that are worse than they are here in Michigan. I definitely feel your pain.
