When only one person can ride with you.
When your almost rear ended every time you slow down for a bump
When you have to plan your route ahead of time

When you can hit reflectors in the road and break them off the road. (not that low yet in the GS. Old car)

Not sure if this has been said yet, but

You know you drive a lowered gs when you hear your UCA's hitting the fender well while going over a pebble..

(i hate this sound.. sounds like someone is hitting my car with a bat lol)

You can't park in the parking garage because you get stuck on the ramp.

super off topic but what kind of idiot doesn't check after they hit something? you dont have to be mechanically inclined at all to check what the hell happened when you hit something, my 6 year old cousin knows this.


this is basically animal abuse

when i first saw that picture i was under the impression that since he didn't have the underbody engine covers, the animal freely placed itself in-between the radiator and the bumper..

because his car was really lower, it wasn't that hard to get in there while entering from underneath the car..

if he actually hit that animal, there would be no explanation as to why it's smashed inbetween the bumper and the radiator..

edit: OR, maybe the animal just punched out the lower grille, and climbed in.. lol
