Funny Things People Have Said or Done Because Your Car is Too Low

[runningpanda]

Went out with about 20 dubbers and various guy who aren't totally in to the low scene. I showed up and one girl said, "Your car is much too low". We cruised down 13 to North Walmart. When I got out, this kid gets out of his Jetta and runs over yelling, "Dude, dude you were throwing sparks everywhere!"

I had someone pull next to me and warn me that my tires were flat. I didn't bother explaining, just thanked him and went on my way.

I love when people ask me how i get over speed bumps, expecting a response with some kind of magical explanation, and then I just tell them I dont go over them. They get this puzzled look.

To be honest though, i avoid the topic of my car or cars in general with most people.

Last year or so, a class mate parked behind me, got out of his car and proceeded to tell me that I need to get my car looked at ASAP at the nearest shop because the rear axle looks broken (due to camber). He was all "does not compute" when I told him it's supposed to be like that.

I get the Mexican thing all the time.

When I busted my second tranny pan, the tow truck driver, after already getting it onto the flatbed asked me what was wrong with my suspension and why the fender was over the tire like that. I said...

"I lowered it. Kids these days, right?"

He just kind of chuckled and shook his head.

Had 4 passengers beside me in my Touring when it was on the 18s.

Left lane on the Autobahn, around 210km/h with the rear wheels occasionally rubbing heavily.

Guy on the rear passenger side starts to scream:

"DUDE! Your wheel arch is smoking!!!"



Or another time when I hit my subframe on a bump in the road going around 80kmhs on a backroad in my old E36 sedan, my friend in the passenger seat was convinced that the bump MUST have ripped off half the front until we stopped.

Got pulled over for a dimmed tail light.
Officer was very nice, "Evenin' I'm officer so and so, pulled you over blah blah... By the way, how'd you get your car this low? Cut springs?"
"Yes sir"
"Damn that's nuts!"
Went back, processed the warning, came back and said, "Blah blah just get it fixed. Also, your back wheels... are they supposed to bend like that?"
"Yes sir, just negative camber"
"Car's nuts kid, have a nice night"

My car always get called cute as well....


but I once went to the car wash, and they came in, bowing their heads saying that they couldn't actually get my car into the wash. I replied "It's ok, but I've already paid..." so they washed it by hand, outside of the car wash, which was pretty satisfying.

Female cop when i got pulled over in my old Golf MKII: "Sir, youre tyre is stuck on your fender, you can't drive any further."

Me: "Meh, don't worry, it's supose to do that."

"Is your car's suspension broken? I see it just sitting outside and it hasn't moved in a long time and the wheels are crooked."

A while ago I went round to a lady's house, scraped the shit outa everything getting in her drive, when we left and in all my lightheaded marshmallow brained genius I forgot and with both of us in there did the austin powers at all angles trying to reverse. She said, "Shall we just go back upstairs?" to which I replied, "Done"
