The gripes of running your car low...

So other than the daily rubbish of having difficulty dealing with speedbumps and other objects that more cars at standard height can deal with quite easily it now appears I have great difficulty in getting the car up some ramps to get underneath to change the oil.

Who else out there faces similar problems? Must be a few i'm guessing....

i cant drive through middle of my town but theres nothing there anyway.

when i ha d the mk2 i had to plan my route, cudnt go on rams, gt a cats eye shaped dent on the sump, speeedbumps arrghh, had t be carefull when reversing, it was a good snow plow nd grass cutter lool

i can get over that hump...just, if i go realy slowly lol

one problem i get is any humps or bumps in the road, at night the hedges light up with a trail of sparks, i should rely check what it is thats slowly being worn away lol

and it ruins your suspension! mounts etc

exhaust scrape is nothing most speedbumps are doable.

roads aroound bangor are just horrible,potholes galore!
camber's a killer and all specially coming off the roundabout by penrhyn castle!

I scrape my subframe and jacking points on cambered roads, my splitter on everything, and it takes 2 jacks to raise my car, a widowmaker to lift it from the pinchweld, so i can get a trolley jack under the jacking point

Ever thought about driving it on to bits of wood.

Makes it so much easier to get a jack under then

i use a brick! easyyy

I hate it when you drive over a dead animal and drag it along the road - bits of dead badger stink when they cook on the exhaust !! lol

Ive had to make some beam guards on the notch, and they are already wearing thin! looks cool at night though and my old man managed to maroon it on the curb outside my house a few years back, had to get the jack out to get it moving

unwrapping squirrel from the subframe isnt nice.
