Default You know you own a LOWERED xGS when...

Got jealous that the ISx50 had a thread but we didn't so starting this in the 2gs section!
Would have posted this in a general GS section, but such thing doesnt exist! Older/Newer Generations are welcome to join in!

You know you own a LOWERED (in my case GS300) when.. you have to reverse into a speed bump.

You know you own a LOWERED GS300 when... you memorize where every speedbump, dip, and railroad track is.

You know you own a LOWERED GS300 when... you have to drive up on wood and use a scissor jack before using a low profile jack.

You know you own a LOWERED GS300 when.. your UCA hits so much that you are thinking of cutting a hole!

lets keep this snowballing!

You know you own a lowered GS when you give someone a ride home and have to drop somebody outside their neighborhood to walk home because your car won't make it through all the speed bumps.

you know you own a lowered GS when you enter a driveway at super slow speed to avoid rubbing.

When you have stock if control arms waiting to go on.

When you have custom exhaust because railroad tracks pulled of the stock exhaust

When repairing the cracks in the front bumper is just something you do every weekend.

you know you're low when you store a weight scale in your trunk for your passengers, to make sure they don't exceed the weight limit haha

When you have to park and walk inside because you can't make it up or down the McDonald's drive-thru lane.

Or when you have to exit a parking lot through the entrance because the exit side is just too steep LOL.
