Do you want to hear a scary and true story about a bus? I have two — this one is about shifting weight. When I was in high school, the bus route included a couple of tight curves that our driver didn't slow down enough for. So one day we devised amongst ourselves to all move to the right side of the bus as we rounded the curve. I don't know if the tires came off the road, but I can tell you that a lot of weight was lifted from the left-side suspension! The driver screamed, and even though she didn't say anything, we never did that again!
:-) i bet if you put a lot of heavy people in the back of that bus, you could make the front end go up. :-)
