I know about tin snips but could I use a jigsaw with a blade for metal? I only have about 5 sheets to cut and around a window for an outbuilding.
If there was any damage to the Civic directly related to the speed bump, send an estimate for repairs to the new management - even better if the estimate is accompanied by a letter with a legal heading -I bet they modify the bumps real quick. Speed bumps in an apartment complex are very common - ones that don't allow vehicles to safely pass over them are not.
I swear by their fly rods. The upper end models have a lifetime warranty that definitely makes it worth the price. Not to mention the smooth actions is way to cool.
