When I was exiting a strip mall and the car got stuck. Super busy street too. I felt like an idiot.

After turning the steering wheel all diffrent ways and buring the hell out of one tire (non limited slip), I was able to drive off.

When you burn your friends grass with your midpipe because it sits too low. And then proceed to get stuck in the grass leaving lol. It was in my GS though.

I know the feels, makes me wish I kept my Espelir springs from previous SC....

Realized too low when scraping new exhaust and frame on steep garage.

Had to make wooden ramps.

When you cant do too much spirited driving on regular city streets because it rubs/scrapes on every dip, train track, bump, and when taking hard turns at speed. Sort of ruins the point of the car... But i'm still not raising it up

I realized my car was TOO LOW WHEN.....
I had to remove the front bumper to get by car on the tow truck.
When they added an amendment to the lifetime alignment policy at Goodyear because of my car. "Does not include lowered vehicles."
I had to build wooden ramps just to use a jack.

It rains for more than 10 minutes and wonders if you're covered in flood insurance.

...when you know you're car looks damn good with rims but deep down inside you know you have inner camber tire wear.


... when you forget to flip your tires and the tire shop denies you but theres so much tread left on the side that's not worn.

The struggles real
