The "post a picture of your car while it's stuck" thread
OMG, ya not gonna believe it.. I work at Lexus dealership as Technician.. Im going to do the alignment on my IS250 and the problem was the alignment rack was not flat, they were 45 degree angle ramps.. WTF!! I took front bumper off and then drove into the alignment rack.. They finally made into and worked alignment on my ride.. Guess what, FAWKKKK I got stuck while backing up.. Im totally anxious because I dont want other tech wait too long and tell me to gtfo my ride... IT took me 10 minutes to figure out and I finally found my buddy who was short and skinny lol.. So he dont make the weight on my ride and also I put wood block under the tires... Finally the car back.. WHEEW, that's a worst nighmare.. Here is the pic of my ride on alignment but didnt take pic while backing up because I dont like see other tech waiting too long...
This exact same thing happened when we put the coils on my buddy's miata. it got stuck on the concrete lip backing out of my shop.
lol I remember that day. It made that god awful sheering noise as I backed it out......and then as I pulled it back in because the subframe braces were literally sitting on the ground and it wasn't even remotely drivable.....lol.
Getting in to my driveway. No pictures at the moment, however if I drive in the middle of the driveway, I scrape the whole way. Oh and if I leave my driveway, it rips my fender off..
Got stock in my highschool parking lot before I was on air. Everyone watched and laughed as I layed wood around the speedbump:/ Got stuck backing out of a friends driveway today and forgot to take a pic(
Almost got stuck once leaving a friends metal shop. Driveway is steep and short. I go a ton of angle and went for it, nope. Backed out and got more angle and just let the tires spin, good thing I have an LSD...it got me out of there.
So far I've always been able to back up and hit it faster to get over things. There's a bad speed bump at school that I tried once, it's right in front of the entrance before class, I hit the control arm lollypops and came to a stop so I hit the gas more and spun my way over haha. Nice cloud of smoke for everyone standing there.
When we and my gf were looking for a townhouse we found this place we liked but it had these poorly designed speed humps all over. I spent about an hour one night trying to figure out how to get over, this is a straight over attempt (you can see the scratches from my previous attempt beside my rocker).
Another shot of marks
They were designed in such away that whatever angle I went at my front wheels would dip before my back got on causing me to scrape my shit.
Luckily for me it sold and I went lower right after it did haha.
Edit: Parking at a lowrider show around here, not stuck but it sucked
