    yeah, thats how it is when i go back to school up near baltimore. when i'm at home for the summer or for whatever, the roads are smooth here and i don't have many problems. but especially in the city of baltimore, man.. it puts me in the worst mood driving through there.. because as much as i try not to scrape anything - i always do. thats how i tore off my mugen lip too.. not being able to judge the steepness of a driveway.

    and that downpipe is pretty screwed up 4thgen4dr.. mine has a little dent in it on one of the pipes from where it scraped away over the past year... but thats insane. what'd you hit?

          I just got a whole new header wich cost me bout 120. Its great tho cuz my headers look nice and bronze now rather than all nasty and rusted lol. Steve, I was driving home on 95 and was passing this slow car and got into the next lane and bam! My car goes crunch and I get lifted off the ground alittle since im so low.I didnt have enough time to react to the fricken boulder rock in the middle of the F@%#$*$ highway!

                yea being lowered and kitted you are always lookin at the road in front of you, you become accustomed to scaning the road and remembering were the bad spots are..lol

                I remember goin to school one day on a two lane road both lanes full so i coulndt swerve to miss the dead racoon in the road and went right over it you could feel it hit and role across the bottom of the car as you roled over it i was just glad it didnt really hit my kit.

                      Come to Ohio one day and you'll see what I mean about nasty roads lol. You HAVE to swerve or you'll just damage your car.
