So glad the PO on my MK2 thought it was a truck and had a tow hitch installed, easy jack point every time.

supras are trucks
Master_Spazez
Fair enough.

when you start to complain and act paranoid about your weight, wanting to keep your weight to a minimum so you don't scrape.

when you scrape and call everyone riding with you, FAT ASS!
Louis
when you go to the bank and sit at the drive through window for 5 minutes before someone realizes you're there because your car is way lower than the window. I had to honk to get that fools attention lol.

When you get stuck at an entrance of a mcdonalds so you go inside, order your food and come eat it inside your car while waiting for a friend to come help.

Hang Em Low
when you're welding your exhaust every other month.
Juice
you know your almost low when you create a hole in your oil pan, leave a trail of oil and ignite that trail of oil with sparks coming from the frame rails.
(one day I hope to do this)

...when you wear through a 1/8" steel diamond plate skid plate.

...when you're glad you bought an 80's era car with gigantic bumpers so you can use them to jack the car up.

When the car in front of you throws sparks over your car. Deolio and AngelandBombs throwing sparks onto and over my car on the freeway. I hate and love you guys for this.
The pic is of my car and they are both .5-1 inch lower than me at the time.
deolio
^haha! spark showers are the best way to clean your car don't you know!?

When you know which stores, shopping centers, restaurants you CANT go to because of their driveways.

When you're 15 lengths behind the car in front of you on the freeway to watch for dips and how much their suspension travels.

When there's the time that you have to carry passengers in the back and there's seating arrangements for even weight distribution

when you can touch the floor while sitting in the car with your arm out the window

loki
when you can't open your door next to a curb
Louis
when you consider your next modification to be to your driveway in order to make it easier to pull in and out. giggity.

when you put taller tires on your car and can't stand how you can go almost anywhere without scraping

PotatoSparkles
if you think that's bad, I went from 195/50-15 to 195/65-14 haha got like an inch clearance. luckily I'm back to the 15's, though.
Dirty Brick
you use a grinder instead of a wrench to remove what is left of the heads of your trans mount bolts...

when your girlfriend finds herself screaming "LOOK OUT FOR THE MANHOLE COVER!"

.....but she forgets she isn't in a lowered car. I've taught her well.

Louis

PotatoSparkles
... when you notice you're gaining ground clearance with the same ride height, since your frame rails are being pounded flat.

when you're weary of a new/fresh shell since it's going to have to go through the same process again LOL
G535
when you dont recognize the lowering springs on your GFs new car - even after having the chance to look at them. True story.
Ynot!
When your car constantly rearranges the gravel on the drive way.

When your frame rails scrap so hard it knocks the change out of you passenger's pocket. I collect $19 of change out of my car the other day.
