Exclamation speed bump help

I have a 2012 tsx lowered on D2 coilovers, mind you they are at maximum height. I am still scraping frame every time I pull into and out of my neighborhood. I live in a community where theres 86 houses and the people who live here are in their upper 50s. When I first pull into the gates, I open it with one of the buttons used for the garage openers and not more than 5 feet is there a speed bump. Its high and short. How can I go about bringing this to the attention of my neighborhood association?

change the way you drive.
angle's are your friends.

or you could carry a ratchet and socket set and remove the speed bump and put it back every time.

I personally wouldn't have lowered my car if my neighborhood speed bumps were that high

If you are maxed out and still scraping this must be one hell of a speed bump. I don't think the neighborhood will have much sympathy for you since you are the one who created the height problem for yourself. If other normal cars are scraping then they might do something.

Try angling it some first though.

I am really confused now.

First, Florida lives in the same neighborhood as you? That is weird. Second, you've seen Florida get out of his Bugatti and lay down wood planks and drive over them, and then get out and put them back in his trunk?

does a bugatti even have a trunk for wood? if you live in a neighborhood with seemingly rich people who drive in bugatti's, doesn't your tsx seem poor?

A lot of celebrities live in regular middle-class neighborhoods in Florida. I've seen The Rock, Christina Milian, and Trick Daddy's crib so far. Trick daddy is winning because he owns 2 neighboring houses lol

Maybe they have it the speed bumps where they are in case Justin Beiber decides to buy a piece of property in the neighborhood.

I'd be in to fly down for a site meet.. maybe we can setup tables and boo / jeer at all the car(s) that don't make it over.

I'd also like to meet to Flo Rida.

"Yes I can, doubt that I leave, I'm running with this plan
Pull me, grab me, crabs in the bucket can't have me
I'll be the president one day
January first, oh, you like that gossip
Like you the one drinking what God sip dot com
Now I gotta work with your tongue
How many rolling stones you want
Yeah I got a brand new spirit,
Speak it and it's done
Woke up on the side of the bed like I won
Talk like a winner, my chest to that sun
G5 dealer, US to Taiwan
Now who can say that, I wanna play back
Mama knew I was a needle in a hay stack
A Bugatti boy, plus Maybach
I got a feeling it's a wrap, ASAP"
