I'm guessing they have some sort of air suspension that lifts the car back up to a decent height when it's time to drive.

Just from a logical standpoint, looking at lowered cars... I can only imagine how the underbody deals with all the crap you drive through everyday. I mean, even on clean roads, I hear tiny little rocks hitting the wheel wells (lack of sound insulation.. I like it though). Going over railroad tracks = parts being left behind; especially on lowered cars like that. It's too bad it's not on film, but I remember this one super low car; it was like a riced out Accord fart can or something, shoots over some relatively tame looking tracks, then you just hear some metal hitting asphalt. Next thing you know, he's pulled over on the side of the road, outside his car, picking up the parts of his exhaust piping. Even one of his cats had fallen off.

I guess they don't collect enough taxes in Canada?
I've experienced cracked windshields once... usually from going under overpasses... sucks to live in Chicago where people are more likely to steal a good car rather than admire it, and damage good cars instead of ... well, admiring it. Having people jealous of your ride is a bitch, no matter where you are...

Sounds like a fun financial situation.
They're doing some massive construction on the Chicago highways... traffic 24/7, I swear...
