My RC truck that is!
I finanly got a good battery pack in the truck and since it's ABOVE freezing today, I decided to run it. I was bouncing around the yard and tormenting my neighbor's dogs with it, just **** around. I started taking some jumps and hit one kinda funny and the truck landed on the right rear wheel at an angle. The suspension compressed and I saw this sheet of shock oil cover the indside of the body and shards of plastic shock cylinder flying everywhere!
It was cool! Glad I got another shock though. But it just shows that running plastic RC cars in the freezing cold is not the best idea. Everything get so brittle and can just snap on a whim.

i was with my dad fishing one day
we went there like on a friday night around 8...fished till 2 the next morning
there was like a 10 fish limit per day...so we could bring back more if we stayed into the next morning
the high tide had come and gone and left a big swell out in the beach
we were going about 40 when we hit it
the truck was in the air so long we had time to brace ourselves before we hit ground
we busted a shock...it was probably closer to 75 degrees though...
that truck(92 gmc 4x4) was f***ing awesome
