So, a couple of days ago I was driving around with a friend. He feverishly alerted me to a small speedbump ahead of me in a parking lot I was slowly moving across. It didnt look big. I decided to test it out. Being the paranoid guy I am, I went at like 1/10th mph across it. I estimated it to be around 3-3.5inches tall, my friend insisted its lower. He said it’s like 2 inches. Creeping slowly across it, my car lightly touched it in two places. I’m thinking it was exhaust flanges. This is another reason I cant be on a static suspension as low as that picture shows. I literally will tear the car’s belly apart coming out of my driveway. It’s MUCH lower underneath than it appears to be. ---

I left two half inch deep ruts in a speedbump in an OCMD parking lot this summer with the MR2, it’s either you have the desire/“balls” to be low or you don’t, roads suck everywhere. ---

my exhaust hits everytime I drive my car. evetually flanges wear down from the road, and dents form where they need to be formed. It wont kill anything unless its your oil pan. ---

Please! Also, maybe you can go for a spin around with me in mine and tell me and show me how that works as well. I’ve never had a car this long before. I really dont mind that it’s low. im not complaining either. I dont really drive fast anyway, maybe on highways, but otherwise it’s tame. I just want to learn to navigate obstacles properly with this car so i dont damage it. it’ll be easier on bags, cuz i can just lift it, but for now I’ll need to know how to visually gauge things, so i know not to go over stuff thats too tall for it. ---

Just hit steep ramps at an angle. I used to 3 wheel my RSX doing so but it worked. I think I had about 3.5" or less of clearance from the front lip. ---

You should see the speed bumps at my apt. My stock height car scrapes nearly everytime. Yet the old hags that bitch about the “damn kids going to fast” are the ones that launch their buicks and fucking stupid s10s off them. Did I mention a s10 owner hit my hatch this morning? I hate old people and peed bumps. /rant ---
