    Default for people with lowered cars

    I mean really low.. i've ran over a foam cup around halloween when the Netherworlds was open and it still stink up my car til today. It melted allll over the mid section of my exhaust pipe. and today on the way to work, i ran over a bag on the highway, i was wishing it'll come back out so i looked in the rear view, nope, i guess it melted again.. Anyone had experiences with these occurances? just wondering what you guys ran over that annoyed u for a while?

    EDIT: i found that bag lol! it's stuck on my bumper. =D lucky it didnt melt.

    Ive hit a plastic bag twice. the first time i didnt think anything of it untill i came to a stop and smelled it. I was just like "Fuk, theres nothing i can do about it now", then I took off and I heard this god awful thumping against my floorboard. Come to find out, the bag got wrapped around my drive shaft and thats all it took to make that loud ass noise. The second time it happened I had a different exhaust system. I looked in the rear view and didnt see the bag come out so i pulled over with the quickness, jumped down there and snatched that MFer off. It didnt get me too bad that time. I couldnt even smell it.

    yeah, the first time it happened, the smell was there constantly for like 2 weeks, then i could still smell it at times after that. Once I got my new exhaust, obviously it fixed the problem. I wasnt about to let that shiit happen again.

    Me and my buddy were in his full size chevy truck that was bagged and would lay frame. We drove from the far west side of snellville to about the middle of loganville at the same ride height. Once we pulled into my friends neighborhood, we felt a serious bump to the bottom of the truck. Come to find out, we peeled the reflector off the street with the tranny cross member lol!

    I run over a lot of sticks and stuff on backroads after it rains and knocks stuff down. It's normally at night so I can't see in time to turn. Normally they're wet so they just break up, but it's still bumpy.

    1) Any cars exhaust can get plastic/foam, etc...doesn't have to be lowered

    2) It just means your front bumper isn't low enough

    Had a kitten lodged next to a header on a Ford Explorer once, drove around for a couple hours one hot summer day running errands and trying to figure out why the worst smell ever was following us...got home turned the wheel and saw it. Felt bad but not much you can do at this point. Got a rag thinking I was going to pull it out by it's cute little paw and the entire leg slid off leaving a clean bone. *gags* Then all the boiled insides poured out where the leg was torn off *gag* Horrifying.

    I know you just threw up in your mouth a little. sorry.

    i hit a mud clod on a bridge that was no taller than 2-3 inches with an exhaust flange right in the middle of my car and it splattered the entire underside of my car... it was awful, i was on my way to replace my transmission so i had a new tranny in the back and a passenger and my crappy ass springs had my car really low.

    when we got it up on the stands it looked like i went 4-wheeling

    It's my front that's way too low. North Georgia's roads are surprisingly forgiving when you look at big cities- I'd rip the whole front bumper off of my car in less than five minutes driving through Boston. I was doing pretty well until a couple weeks back- bunny. Thing flew out in front of me, I had enough time to (1) recognize that it was a bunny, (2) realize that I was going to absolutely crush the poor thing and couldn't avoid it, and (3) yell a few obscenities before BAM.

    Next car will definitely have more clearance.
