    ^^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....

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
    I grew up in a trailor park....I'm a HUGE NASCAR fan...and yes folks...I'm a black man...LOL...So just call me, the black redneck.

    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

    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.

    ^^ 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.

    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.

    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
