Being careful where we drive our Z's
 

I find that I am more aware of the possibility of scraping the bottom of the front end when pulling in, or especially out, of a driveway/entrance than I ever was before in my life.

Just wondering how many of you are pre-evaluating where you drive your Z as a matter of fact, even if subconsciously because of how low our Z's are, or just drive without thinking about it.

i cant stand driving downtown Atlanta because the pot holes

Think about it all the time now...approach entrances and driveways very cautiously especially on exiting. The key is to go slow and approach at an angle...as close to 45 degrees as possible if you can. I even do it now with my other 2 cars, even though there are no clearance issues...just a habit now. And, stay well clear of parking blocks!!!! :icon17:

yea i having to take every drive way at an angle to try and avoid scraping issues. but ive stil got some scuffs on the front lover bumper and side rails. at the bottom.

ive had lowered cars for over a decade so it's just a part of life. :p

I have had lowered cars all my life, but the Z is the lowest by far. I do have think about where I am going before I actually go. Have scraped a few times.

I have not lowered mine yet, however exiting driveways always sideways and slow!

Also I'm very careful with the blind spots look twice or three times, especially the passenger side.

Better safe than sorry!

I got used to it with lowered Mustangs and Camaros, so its no big deal. I wouldn't lower this car though

Avoid these parking blocks at all costs, or you will hear your Z screams when you pull out.

Are you talking about scraping the front bumper or the front spoiler?

both. very badly. i learned my lesson.

I actually find that I can't drive my Z most of the time depending on where I have to go. Be it road construction or just crappy driveways I find I leave my Z home and have to drive my Jeep most of the time.

Vermont sucks.

I almost always approach any driveway now at at angle, whether I'm driving in or out...There are very few that I can approach head on, as I get the dreaded scraping sound. Ugh!

I have scraped both...and my F.I. exhaust. Exhaust sits lowest at 3 inches from ground. Front spoiler is not much higher at less than 3.5 inches.

I've completely given up trying to save my front chin spoiler, it's going to scrape, just need to put aside some pennies and get a new one when I feel fed up with the way it looks.
