Yeah the looks from others of annoyance are pretty funny. I don't care, they aren't going to pay to fix my bumper.

What's difficult is when I have to turn into a steep driveway from a busy street, I pump my brakes and slow down, but because I enter the driveway so slowly, they still end up slamming their brakes behind me.

The comments I get from the wife are hilarious, "Why are you taking up the entire driveway, that really doesn't prevent you from scraping does it, we'll I don't believe it does." That's exactly why she won't be driving my car.

^ I've driven a lowered car ever since my wife and i were still dating... so she's used to me causing traffic backups and such.

she worries that i'll get read-ended one day, trying to get into or out of a driveway. i tell her that it's my one-way ticket into the lexus ISF ive been talking about.

Better than my gf. She gets pissed when I go so slow and at an angle for dips, bumps, and driveways. She's used to flooring it over them, haha.

Yes, I get sad when I hear a scrape... but when I tackle a speed bump and make it without any scrapping... it's an epic feeling. Driving low teaches you about the roads
