About a month ago I was having some bad kidney stone pain and had to drive 2.5 hours home. I threw up twice in the first couple miles it hurt so bad. Then I hit a pot hole and the pain went away. Check mate, doctors.
But Your car needs to be at least 20 years old for this to happen. Used to happen a lot when I was driving a 1989 VW Golf.
I can second this. I once got 2nd and 4th gear back in my 1993 Saturn LS1 after getting some air time off a decent bump on a country road.
Coincidentally, that same bump is how I lost 2nd and 4th. Life can be tricksy mistress.
I had something similar! I got some sick airtime while off-roading with my cousins in my 1995 4Runner, and when my back wheels caught a hidden hill, I bent my axles! But I was able to easily fix them by hitting my wallet with a $1,500 bill, and then crying a lot.
my 2002 ford truck had a similar issue, because there was a weak solder spot on the main board in the instrument panel
the windows and radio would go out randomly and a bump in the road would usually bring it back. Getting that fixed was easy enough when I had the truck in the shop for a other projects. They had to send it to a specialist but its been perfect since... but the passenger side airbag is electrically fed by a small incandescent light and the bulb has burned out so the stupid thing throws an error. You have to take the dashboard apart to get to the stupid light so I just ignore it
I used to drive a Daihatsu Mira that lost power steering, ABS and the speedometer whenever it went above 70mph
Used to have a truck, 20 years ago. When you would hit a pothole, sometimes the engine would die. Fortunately, you could get it to start again by hitting a curb or another pothole.
Just dont drop your friends keys into the black hole under the seat ☝️ And definetly dont crawl in after them 🙂↔️
