You know you're low when.......

saw this on another forum, just finish the sentence. Should be fun with some participation. If this has been done before, or is in the wrong location, feel free to move it mods

ill start it off

you know you're low when....

...You dont decide what to eat for dinner based on what your craving, but rather what driveways you can make it up
...You have to get out of your car when picking up your food from a drivethrough
...You can feel your thighs being worked out when you get in and out of your car
...You are afraid to merge because of reflectors that for somereason look bigger than normal
...You hit a very small pothole and it sounds like your car just exploded
...You slam your breaks and your front lip scrapes
...You have to ride to the shop with out a front bumper to get on the alignment machine
...You rub to the point that it knocks your front bumper out

all true stories

Funny, but I don't think I could ever truly "slam" a car.... unless it was on bags (and even then I don't think I could do it) but for the sport of it I'll participate. I like to drive fast, maintain proper suspension geometry and break shit as least often as possible

You know you're low when....

you've cracked 2-3 oil pans just driving on the street
your 1-piece front lip is a 3-piece lip a month later
the underside of your front bumper has no paint left on it
you scrape your tow hooks
you treat potholes like incoming missiles
you drive around pebbles on the road
your subframes are scraped down to bare metal
your exhaust fell off on the freeway because you hit a bump which caused the flanges to snap your exhaust bolts off
you have to make ramps to get the jack under your car

The one about the ramps is not so funny though its the only one that really applies to me.... the rest have happened to my friends though

I have to pull out ramps every time I want to jack up my car or drive it onto some lifts I need a low profile jack.

Your car is laying unibody, and you can still fit your hand above the tire (and technically roll). My brother's hydraulic business just juiced this thing...

Yea same I wouldn't slam unless I had an air ride setup. The only point I see to ever really slam a car is to set it on the ground when you park because it just looks awesome. + you can keep people from jacking your shit when they can't get a jack under it =)

I've done this before!
It's ghetto, but it works!
I wonder if it's legal to drive around that way though?

Some of those things happened with my first integra and still happen on my current Integra.

Good times.
