Back from the dead
You know your gs is low, when you hit a pothole so hard that your stereo turns off and the rear view mirror turns side ways.

When your front lip falls off, you run it over and drag it after hitting a dip!

My only qualm about real TTE lips - they're too rare to destroy!

That's the beauty of the authentic lips, very hard to destroy

Getting out of my Mom & Dad's driveway a couple of years ago.

The driveway apron was not wide enough to get more angle - at least not without dropping the right rear wheel off the curb. It took me forty minutes and was dark by the time the car was in the street.

Good question - I was able to get IN the driveway okay, but I knew getting out was going to suck.
I spent the night there, and the city they live in does not allow on street overnight parking.

We ultimately addressed this by building movable, folding ramps so they can get the NSX and other lowered cars in and out of the driveway.
