you know when you see rally cars goin over a hump bridge and they land heavy

well if you were in a std car
say a mk1 vw polo, if you went over a bridge to fast landed heavy bounced the sump off the floor and bottomed the suspension out

is it possible to put a smal crease in the roof before the b pillar on the side that it landed heavy on? and a small crease just at the base of the a pillar by the window?

when chassis of standard cars flex when jacked (try opening your car do when you next do this) you might notice it doesnt close quite as easily as when on the ground. this is because the chassis has slightly dipped due to the weight of the car being uneven. doing what your mate has done would very easily cause damage!
