Many years ago when leaving a race course with my friend in front, he went
over the speed bump at the exit with one wheel.  I went over with both. The
speed bump edge cut the side of his sump. Engine seized about 3 miles down
the road after all the oil leaked out.

We were both driving Caterhams with Ford crossflows. Identical cars.

I always pull to the side and just go over with one wheel if possible.  


WOW, a great bunch of replies over the AT question. 

I am also of the opinion, brakes are cheap and easy to replace,
transmissions, not so much. 

If people liked that conversation, here is another one I've often wondered. 

When you come to a speed bump that doesn't stretch across the lane, is it
better to... 

Go so both wheels go over the speed bump at the same time or 
move to one side so only one side of the car goes over the speed bump and
the other side doesn't. 

Any comments? 

Go...
