Has your car ever been SOOO low that...

[Cliff]

You get stuck on the smallest bump in the road....i never had that problem with my civic but just curious if anyone has ever been stuck because they were so low and just spun the tires trying to get off.... :lmfao:

[TKellarB]

did that trailering a boat once ....

[Cliff]

hahahahahaha how did you do that?

[chuck]

a friend of mine in highschool took out the springs on a camry he had, we would see-saw it on the speed bumps in the school parking lot...lol

[Cliff]

here's a hint of who else it happened to...

[TKellarB]

^^sorry -- noob here -- who's car(S)??

We bottomed out trailering a large boat with a 4WD F150 - big dip out of a parking lot-- had to unhitch the boat and jack it up to move it -- unbelievably humiliating....

[Cliff]

there is no such thing as a fwd f150....and also it is a silver neon.....clearly suggesting quick dodge....he said his shocks were draggin the ground or somthin...a delivery van pushed him over it so he could pull out

[TKellarB]

sorry -- edit -- 4WD :)

they both look like camrys....

[Cliff]

they both look like dodge neons to me...and with 4wd you couldnt get the trailer to move....wow thats weaaaaaak

[TKellarB]

it was a really deep dip in the pavement -- the hitch got stuck and dug into the pavement -- as I said...humiliating...very humiliating

[A.P. Photography]

Mazda B2200 ext cab 1/4" off the ground. Reflector collector, used to pull up the reflectors in the road with it. I had to avoid speed bumps, ruts in the road, had to pull in at an angle to get in my driveway. Man I miss that truck. Once got it stuck in the middle of downtown Jonesboro.

[Cliff]

hahahahahaha i have tried climbing up a really steep hill before and it dug my drop down hitch into the rocks and dirt and i couldn't back down so i had to shift out of 4hi into 4lo and just keep climbing the hill till i could turn around....so i guess i feel ya on that

[TKellarB]

yea, but I am sure you didn't have the entire lunch crowd of Wendys pointing and laughing as you were trying to get out of the situation.....

[Cliff]

oh and i will toss in my story...my old club street pros was on our way to the ia knowledge meet and my buddy willy had just gotten his bags installed that day and learned the hard way why to ride around town a while before makin a road trip on a new set up....got to snellville at 124/78 and he was bouncin it when the air line popped off and all 4 corners dumped....he was pancaked in the turn lane so after trying to get it back up to no luck he drives it towards an old empty gas station and as soon as the middle of the truck is over the entrance it gets stuck...back tires were just spinnin....we all had to push him a hard as we could to get it over the bump....and there was no way to get to the line without jackin up the truck which wasn't possible seeing how it was pancaked....so moral of the story....stay in town when you are newly bagged

[Cliff]

yea, but I am sure you didn't have the entire lunch crowd of Wendys pointing and laughing as you were trying to get out of the situation.....


true but i had the owner of the trails running towards my truck across a field yelling and cussing at me

[auxiliary]

I can't go over a lot of speed bumps in my 240

[TKellarB]

true but i had the owner of the trails running towards my truck across a field yelling and cussing at me

oh snap -- hostility when you are stuck is not fun so you win -- the managers at Wendy's didn't give a damn we were ripping the asphault trying to get it out.

[Cliff]

lol i was like oh crap i can't back up so i had to drive towards him in order to get to a point to turn around then i had to go back down the incline face first...lol

[TKellarB]

did you give him the one-finger wave as you were leaving??

I am sorry but I would have been laughing so hard by that point...gotta love us redneck girls, right...

[Cliff]

i was laughing but he couldn't have seen me flickin him off anyways

[David88vert]

I had a lowrider back in the 80's that I got stuck on the speedbumps up in Gainesville at the mall - all 4 wheels up in the air. Had to have several people push it off.

[accordsti]

ive seen a car on airbags sit on a curb before and break off the rear valence

[soul]

My Si was 1.25 off the ground until recently

[ProjectWidow]

i cant wait till i get a lowered truck someday. of course on bags so i can go places but slam it when it comes to parking. so far i havent had problems with my prelude but i have scrapped like hell on some speed bumps.

[A.P. Photography]

^^ Thats weak, we used to slam them on the ground, no bags, no switches, your stuck-YOUR STUCK. Old school mini truckin when you went down as low as you can and if anything got caught, drag it off. :D

[SwiftGTiRacer]

When i first put the coilovers on my civic hatch i didn't get finished until around 4am at a buddy's garage. It put the car so low that it was about 1 inch from the ground if that. I was to tired to raise it back up so i just drove home like that. It took me 20 mins to drive what normally took only 10.

Swifty

[Cliff]

wow that front end could flip some squirrels like a hamburger

[SL65AMG]

...and with 4wd you couldnt get the trailer to move....wow thats weaaaaaak


he was driving a ford.....

[accented]

i just went to go deposit some money and get lunch for my boss, and i was scraping my new front bumper all over the damn place.. i kept thinking it was gonna rip apart.. stupid kit turned speed bumps into a 5 minute ordeal, lol.

[buddha@TeamFX]

i used to have a bagged mazda truck that would lay frame and scraped the bed in curves if you went to fast ...does that count lol...

[quickdodge®]

Shut the fuck up, Cliff, lolol. It happens.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/quickdodge/low.jpg

Later, QD.

[accented]

LOLOL

[Cliff]

there he is....

[JagerGirl]

Actually cliff, yesterday I was going up to Lake Burton for a cabin party and we had to travel up a rutted out gravel road... My car got stuck on a rock... I was so pissed cause I was going about 10 or 11 MPH and then came to a complete stop b/c I hit a 6" tall rock and got stuck. Clay had to get out of the car and lift up on the front piece of my car so I could roll back over the rock. It was kinda embarassing... LOL

[Cliff]

hahahahahaha man i love having a truck now....no more of that crap...or having to swerve to miss little bumps in the road....ahhhhh it's a good feeling to just bounce over stuff

[quickdodge®]

Hey, I do that too. You should check out the ride, Cliff. Lolol. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

yo meet me at wal mart and i will....i need to get some stuff and don't wanna wander wal mart by myself lol

[quickdodge®]

LOLOL! I was fixing to head over there. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

i'll call you when i get there....leaving now....

[quickdodge®]

Ok. Later, QD.

[THEONE]

i use to get stuck every time i went out in my s-10,then i got bags and problem solved.with the exception of the occasional crusin low as hell on bags and not seeing a big dead cat or possum in the road and wack, then im dragging a dead cat for 100 yards until it goes flying out from under my truck,thinking its gone then later smelling something cooking on the exaust getting home and finding most of this cat is stuck to my exaust and frame...serioulsy the guy at the muffler shop thought it was a furry pot roast.

[Cliff]

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha

[quickdodge®]

Well, Cliff posted this refering to me on Tuesday. I was pulling out of a gas station on Moreland and right halfway out, my car got stuck on the driveway. Frontend on Moreland, assend in the parking lot. This dude in a DHL van behind me asked me if I was broke down. I said, sort of. He ended up pushing me out into Moreland so I could get going. Ugh. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

bahahahahahaah


i need to rename it "Has your car ever been so low that it has absolutely no travel and bounces uncontrolably when being dribbled?"

[A.P. Photography]

^ I got that beat, try having Clayton Co. Police have to push you off of a small built up section of asphalt in the middle of downtown Jonesboro. ;)

[Cliff]

...and then ticketing you for being too low....lol....here son would you like us to push you off since you are too low....have a good day...oh btw here's your ticket

[A.P. Photography]

No actually they laughed their ass's off. Actually called another cop over to laugh at me also. :rolleyes:

[quickdodge®]

^^^ Ok. I will. Taco Bell. Hwy 19/41. Jonesboro. Pulling out, I got caught there. Again frontend hangingout in the road. Had to be pulled out of that spot.

Which reminds me. I need to redo my battery tie-down. After I left you Cliff, I went to Suntrust to get some money. I went to the red light by Picadilly's to go straight across to BK. The redlight at Starbuck's. As I was crossing, my car hit a couple of bumps and my fucking battery tilted over pulling my negative terminal wire out. My car shut off and left me sitting in the middle of 138. I was fucked cause the light turned green for 138 traffic to go. Luckily, 3 dudes at Starbuck's came over and helped me push my car over into the parking lot. Lolol. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[A.P. Photography]

I still got you QD, I was not pulling out of anywhere just driving down main street when I came to a halt immediatley

[quickdodge®]

Remember cruising Stone Mountain on Sundays back in the early 90's? How about opening weekend? How about that car wash just beofre the Rock you would stop off at to clean your ride? How about long ass lines there? How about a 1980 Datsun 210 SW stuck inside one? How about no one could push or pull you out because the frame was actually caught? How about the tow truck driver laughing cause he had to come lift your car and pull it out? Lolol. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

if you ever get stuck on the road just lemme know and i'll give you a solid tug

[A.P. Photography]

How about Stone Mountain taking two and a half hours to make it aorund one time. Getting stuck and digging 1/2" ruts into the speedbreakers at the playground. LOL

[quickdodge®]

The Infamous Playground Speedbumps. Lolol. Cops used to sit there because of people like me and you. Get stuck, get thrown out. Later, QD.

[A.P. Photography]

Ah yes the police escorts to the exit, LOL I had so many of those it is unreal. :p

[quickdodge®]

Heheh. Did you ever get a ticket in there and then take the ticket and stick it on your car antenna? When the cop would see you, they would give you another ticket and then provide an escort service to the front gate. Lolol.

It's funny that you used to go there, too. I probably saw you up there and laughed at you. Lolol, j/k. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

you were prolly sittin beside each other thinkin of how cool all the cars were...dorks

[David88vert]

Damn, I bet that I do know QD and GA Teg. I used to be there every weekend in my Dakota. I always got stuck at the playround - that was routine. Teeter-tottered on the frame several times.

[A.P. Photography]

They always just escorted me right out of the park the first time I got stuck. lol

[bastarling84]

i had a lowered nissan at one point where i had used lowering blocks and it made the leaf springs really low. one ime i ran off the road and the leaf spring got stuck on the shoulder and the tire just sat there and spun. that was when i decided i no longer wanted a lowered truck.

[Hornswoggler]

I have been OK with everything except the speed bumps at Gwinnette mall. Those are HORRIBLE speed bumps (i.e. near Fry's).

Everything else just takes lots of care and patience.

[Cliff]

check out the speedbumps installed in front of wal mart and circuit city in conyers....very big...my civic scrubbed misserably

[quickdodge®]

No thanks. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

bahahahahaha i woulda been pullin you off the other day

[Jimmy B]

cars are nothing to get "stuck" the old skool mini-truckers know what it is... riding 1/2-1 inch off the ground.. EVERY DAY! thats waht im talkin about!

my full size 1500 was about 4 in off the ground.. not to low, but not to high eather, lol

[A.P. Photography]

My Mazda B2200 was 1/4" (the lowest point) off the ground, the 1500 was sititng about 3-1/2" off the ground. No bags, no swithces, just friends pulling/pushing when you got stuck. :D

[BOOSTEDeg]

I was in a 4x4 on a security patrol and got it stuck down to the chassis in a sink hole. Had to dig it out and pull it the rest of the way out with a Humvee. My platoon SGT caught us after a fellow soldier ratted us out.

[Jay B II]

When I first got my current car it sat real low because of the tire size I was running and I got stuck on a speedbump tryin to take a friend home...I couldn't go forward at all so I had to back it back off which I almost couldn't do either

[Cliff]

"no fat chicks allowed, car might scrub"
