So funny that you both mentioned speed bumps. My city has been installing "Speed Humps" which vary from flat across the top, and fairly wide (in the direction of travel). The humps can be built to a certain speed. Ours are built to 25mph apparently.

While everyone in modern cars else is slamming on their brakes, and literally climbing up and down them, my coupe goes over them like they're an inch tall, at 40+. And I think I can feel the compensator doing it's thing, and sort of firming up the rearend after one or two.
