Daves E30 Build [SW | Low is a Lifestyle]

is there enough roads in the U.S. to drive on for 16 hours with the lowest cars in the country ? there has to be a point where there is some fuck up in the road where all of u are going down :rofl

lol, the joys of having a car thats too low. some of the guys might have issues on the last leg of the trip from 95 to Helen. Its a smaller highway running through the mountains.

i just feel like dudes are gonna be breaking their cars in half and loosing wheels and all sorts of shit i mean dude i feel like with some of the potholes and cracks around our area, an unmodified vehicle gets a fuckin beating

Heres a bunch of pics from the installation weekend.

Tools and supplies all set to go

Actually I used to see your car once in awhile in the morning, around 8:45 AM - 9:00 AM going north on Fellows to get to Rt 146 in CP.

I’m guessing the town of Halfmoon paved Fellows Rd. for you once they heard you were installing the bags?? :slight_smile:

Do it^ I saw some of the shots from that event over at sw sucks I missed out on going. I’ve never actually seen your e30 together until now though Dave. Moar!
