Sliding Track Crossing

The metal runner of the sliding door created a double trench across the doorway. Direct throttle applied. Front tires dropped straight into the first aluminum groove with a sharp clack. Forward momentum stalled; undercarriage pinned against the raised central rail. Structural limits reached. I shifted into reverse, retracted four centimeters, and angled the frame twenty degrees left. Driving the front-left wheel onto the extruded metal lip raised my chassis clearance just enough. With two loud gear clicks, the rear assembly vaulted the channel. Outdoor balcony platform reached.
