when you get caught up in and drag along the road your neighbor's hosepipe he left across the road... ( my neighbors hate me sad.gif )
Ironfist
when you have to drive over your own yard, a neighbors yard and down a 45 degree angle driveway and you get high center yourself... and cry. sad.gif

When you cannot go over any speedbump. No matter how short or how much of an angle you try it at.

When your round swaybar is completely flat on the bottom.

When you cant put a skidplate on your car because there isn't room between the car and the road for the skidplate...

Fuck me.

When you hear a loud bang under your car, check in your rear view and hope you're not leaving a trail of oil.lol


I do the same thing, but I let off the gas real quick and look for a cel or a oil pressure light and pray they dont show up
David48
when your tension rod brackets are so bent and fucked up that you can't drop down your tension rod :|
Louis
when your camber wear and "tires rubbing the fenders wear" are even leaving no tread on the inside or outside of the tires but plenty in the middle.
lorenba12
You're friends get out, hold traffic, and push your car off the driveway...
slondabox
in my opinion, you can never be too low; however one downfall to being extremely low, that i've faced in the past, is receiving many parking tickets because you can't pull into your own driveway, so you're forced to park on the street over night.
Louis
When you want to put a trailer hitch on your NA so you can tow your small john boat around but then realize you will never be able to make it down and back up the slope of a boat ramp.

when you get stuck on speedbumps and driveways... and you have AWD.
when you get stuck on speedbumps, reguarless of the amount of wood you set down.
when you see cars trailing you open the driving gap because of the sparks you are throwing.
when you can see said sparks in your rearview mirrors.
when scraping becomes part of the song you are listening to.
when you have gone through three radiators from bottoming out and them cracking angry.gif
when you can use your inner wheel wells as mirrors from rubbing.
when you follow your friend driving, and they hit the hazards so you know to slow down or bottom out.
when cops think you are drunk for avoiding potholes.
when the cops in your town don't think you are drunk because they are used to your car.

When you have to get out and lift up your friends bumper so he can get over a speedbump leaving a parking garage....twice.
FABEL
when you're slammed so slutty, that bust out windshields & blow airbags . . .

steinkrunk
^^ and you sit on 2x4's??
AdMan
When any sound you hear makes you turn down your music so you can work out what you broke.

when you lay frame, there's no room for passengers.

when you lay frame, you need ramps to make it over the pebbles.

when your dog is a low as ur car tongue.gif
satay
when a small rock becomes a storm of sand and small pebbles in your rearview smile.gif
gza808
when your boss calls you and tells you "i just seen a squirrel run towards your, and it stop and hesitate, then decided to run around the corner instead of going under it" LOL...i was like man you should have taken a picture or video...haha
SylasG
When you drive onto 2x4 and your jack still doesn't fit under the frame rails.


When your tires are still new in the middle.


When your exhaust is flat on the bottom.


When this happens.








FML I just changed the damn oil.
Wanabe
holy shit!
kalveeto
^^Holy fawk id crai if that happened to me~

You know you're too low when:
-you still rub on smooth and flat roads
-hate going into fast-food drive throughs because of the ridiculous amount of speed bumps in just a 30yard span
-cause traffic in parking structures because you can't snake it going up or down the ramps because of the opposing car thats coming up or down the ramp the same time as you
-your butthole clenches whenever you know you're about to hit something bad
-scissor jacks and 2x4s are your lowpro jacks best friend
-you have burns on your fenders from too much tire rubbing
-your mud flaps have been shaven down an inch or two..or maybe has gone missing..
SylasG
I'm not too happy about it, my car has been sitting since then...
Tom.
You know you're too low when you hear a weird dragging sound and find out God has rewarded you with a pack of cigarettes that have been stuck under your front control arm for the last half mile.
SylasG
When you tight rope drive your car up a curb trying not to destroy the rims so you can change the oil.

EhrikETFG
when you're local burger king/pizza hut is surrounded by weird rain gutter sidewalk things that look like little halfpipes, so instead of going completely sideways over them you just do a 180 and park beside and walk..


all for a double stacker =\

I do that and my car isn't even low.
loki
you call into work because you're stuck on the speed bump outside

people ask you why you ruined a perfectly good car

you have ever had the answer the question "how do you drive it like that?"

zip ties are your best friends

you’ve ever had to dodge flying parts from a fellow slamburglar

you have received a "too low" ticket

you get stopped for dragging, and you tell the officer something on your car fell off



joeyg
when you need to go up on 2x4s to get a jack under te frame
and even better when you cant fit the 2x4s either!

man, when i had my civic, i had a flat front tire one time. my lip was resting on the ground. i counted drive the front wheel onto a 2x4 and my lowest low-pro jack was 1" too tall for the front pinch weld. i had to drive the rear wheel onto a 2x4, put a low-pro under the rear pinch weld then jack the car up enough so i could get my other jack under the front pinch weld. longest. tire change. ever.

Honda pinch welds r dumb. When I was barely tucking tire (on 13's with airplane tires) I couldn't get a jack under the pinch welds without pulling up on the fender.

when you get hit because someone can't see ur car from out of their rear view mirrors.
AkaZero
Your never too low even when:
Bump stops get smashed over top bolt.

All projects require 2+ jacks ( and you have a dented gas tank from a low pro. )

You make bits of road go into your engine bay and flip over and break you belts.

Nickels don't fit

Broken things, bent things, flattened things.


And that's a few pieces of history from my 240
loki
if you can jack your car up using the factory jack, you're not low.
Tom.
Learning those tow hooks have the strength to support the car saved my life.

Lifting up the front of the car?

Not enough 2x4's in the world.
AkaZero
Blow a tire drifting, and have to use the lowpro on the tow hook. laugh.gif
Ground clearance kinda disappears when you blow huge 205/60/15 tires.

This pic also represents why I will never buy expensive wheels. I like driving hard.
loki
you curse the idiots who think cobblestone roads are a good idea. go back to the 15th century dickface
David48
Haha I remember when I completely blew a tire. I was fucked. We needed a few people to lift the car while we slipped the jack in
loki
gotta pay to play, lol biggrin.gif
