1) Your frame rails scrape on speed bumps
2) You teeter totter on those community speed bumps in neighbourhoods
3) 3 wheel into your driveway
4) You can't go over train tracks
5) You punched an oil pan on a manhole
6) Potholes make you bottom out
Continue the list

you hit road markers when changing lanes.
you have to drive off centre on any road to prevent scraping.
you break CV joints due to the retarded angle they are pointing.

when you get blinded by other cars low beams
when you throw sparks changing lanes
when you see rocks fly up past your head lights at night cause your lip is catching and throwing them
when you drive extra slow by cops hoping they don't give you a to low ticket
when you go out of your way to get places cause you know there is a bad dip or bump
when you think about rerunning your fuel lines and break lines
when you switch your full size spare for a space saver cause you know the full size wont fit.
when you grind down the pad on your scissor jack clear the pinch weld so you can jack the car up a enough to get your low pro jack under there
when you ditch sway bars cause they are just binding and keeping your car jacked up.
when your drop in HIDs dont blind other drives because the headlight height offsets the scatter
these are all just personal experiences.

-Driving on the freeway at sunset/sunrise so you can barely see the road is absolutely terrifying because you can't look for potholes/ruts/dips...you're driving blind and just waiting for that loud BAM as you bottom out.
-When friends invite you out to a bar/restaurant you have to go on Google Streetview to see there is a place where you can actually park.
-Not going to gas stations based on price but by the fact if you can actually make it into the gas station.
-Having friends mention "I drove right by you and waved the other day...why did you ignore me?" It's not that I ignored you, it was the fact I'm usually oblivious to oncoming motorist because I'm trying to pay attention to the dips/bumps in the road.
-Seeing that huge dip/pothole/bump in the road and knowing you can't avoid it/will be painful...then doing that instinctive cringe anticipating the noise (I actually slightly raise ass out of my seat for some reason...I don't even realize I'm doing it).

-Knowing that on the three battles they have had, the ground always wins out against your exhaust... Either leaving it in pieces or With a big ass hole in it.
-Not being able to work on your car on a hoist because it takes you a half hour to even attempt to get it on it.
- Oil changes must be done by using a curb as a prop... Because a jack won't get under your car.
- Having no aero and still scraping.
- Not taking your car downtown but rather parking it at an uptown subway station and training
it down.
- 3 wheeling isn't just possible you do it on a daily basis... Sometimes getting stuck and going nowhere even with a VLSD.
