This thread makes me thankful for a steel pan and pretty nice roads.
Posted from my magic fingers.

Holy crap, I'm glad I'm not as low as some of you guys. I don't know how you guys can afford to fix that stuff over and over again.
Then again, it's probably easier for you guys to find stuff then me.

I've yet to destroy the oil pan on my M30, but the day will come soon.

raise the motor- problem solved. got the M20 pan up above the front subframe and then added a plate. works great. (now to rethink the rear mounts. i was going through skid bolts- a set a day for 5 days straight.)
should be sorted by this weekend

I high centred this stupid raised manhole cover, insurance doesn't want to go after the developer of the road so my squeaky clean driving record is now ruined because they believe it was my fault for hitting it. This thing is camoed into the road, I can't be stopping at every manhole cover. I had a skid plate and the cover ripped the plate from my car. This is what it looks like:
Any advice? Should I just suck it up and pay it or do you think it might be decent to go to small claims court.
