-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you drive the Panoz GTR-1, you may experience the following symptoms when
you attempt to hop a curb:

- If you hit the curb at a steep angle, the GTR-1 is damaged, and the vehicle
  may stop unexpectedly.

  NOTE: If you hit the curb at a speed of 50 miles-per-hour (MPH) or greater,
  you may destroy the Panoz GTR-1.

- If you hit the curb at a shallow angle, the GTR-1 is slightly damaged, and
  the vehicle may bounce off the curb and remain on the street.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because the Panoz GTR-1 has an extremely low ground
clearance and is not designed to handle street curbs and other large bumps.

RESOLUTION
==========

To prevent this behavior from occurring, use crosswalk ramps to hop the curb, or
drive only on the street.
