Lowered Cars, Middle Fingers

Davey

I drive slow, and fast, depending on the environment. I'm rarely honked at but often tailgated in neighborhoods and such (where I slow down for kids/pets as well as gravel, potholes, etc.)

I agree that if you care about not ******* up your car and you slow down, screw the people who have a problem with it.

I also agree that if you modify your car to a point of it being unable to effectively navigate the public roads you use, you deserve all the honking, middle fingers, tossed milkshakes and so on that you get. You asked for it, so take it like a man.

the gtr was not at fault in this video. though no signal light, the gtr was going slow enough for the SUV behind to slow down and seems like the civic behind the SUV wasn't paying attention.

my 370Z is 100% stock, yet still the lowest car I have driven thus far. My 07 Z had a bit higher ground clearance and even then I took my time as if my car was lowered (which again compared to most other cars, it was). I don't really modify my cars bc i think they look great the way they came from the factory. i dont want to scrape the bottom of my car bc the idiot behind me doesnt have the patience to wait. my mentality of "they can wait" will not change, as Z1nonly expressed that people should change that mentality. sometimes, when you turn into a place, the dip is so deep that you have no choice but to drive at a turtle's place to not scrape.

I agree. Read my 2nd line again.

My car is also stock height (NISMO). I have had a regular Z or two as well and they will surely scrape a lot more than a Camry will, though not quite as much as a NISMO. I am not sympathetic to drivers who expect me to take ramps and speed bumps at SUV speeds in the slightest.

On the other hand, I think if you lower your car 2" and high-center on speed bumps and tie up traffic, you're kind if a jerk and deserve the fingers.
