I mean I get the point behind doing it with air so you can actually drive the car normally, but the ultra low static drop imports just don’t make sense to me. Sure they look cool, but isn’t the point of a car to be able to drive it? Anyway, nice pictures looks like you had a cool trip. The 5 Series that cracked the pan had a twisted motor mount, so the engine wasnt sitting properly. A new mount was made yesterday, and now it is perfectly drivable. The Honda is having the engine raised to avoid this. and if you should see the “bump” that killed the pan. it was a sudden 2-3" change in road height when the highway transitioned to a bridge. it was insane --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-trip-to-tn-for-import-alliance-last-weekend/259520)._
