I never use the sidemirrors for switching lanes, both my mirrors are pointed at the wheels/curb. I always look over my shoulder to change lanes anyways, seeing how many people get in close calls because they dont check their fucking blind spots contributes to that too.

when the guy next to you in a lowered civic/integra/accord/prelude has to look down at you to give you props

when you rip off the black plastic engine/oil pan cover. and when you turn your sub frame to chrome.hahahaha .Happen to me today..I went over a speed bump that I just could not dodge..I took it extra slow in an S formation and I my plastic engine/oil pan protector broke off and was hanging..my frame got scraped the F up all the way down on both sides AND just about got stuck..
 
Got home looked at my car and said oH SNAPS..I jacked up the car and started luaghing and thought about this thread...I had to put a big washer where it bolts on use a longer screw to put that plastic part back on..it was dragging all the way home..My frame is all shiny now...sad thing the speed bump was not that big but it was one of those big wide ones...I allways like those better than the small steep ones but this time I guess it was just a little to high for my car...
 
 
Good thing is that I did not f up my oil pan and now I saw my front tires..time to flip them and get some extra life..hahahkekekekeke

When your puddle lights are missing in action

when your sideskirt the lights were attatched to is missing in action (tru story)

[quote=widebody_Q;144896]When your puddle lights are missing in action[/quote]

When people ask you if you are going to put puddle lights in, and you open your door, and show them the puddle lights that are there STOCK, and don't want to waste 50 bucks for them to get cracked/broken/torn off, just to piss you off for spending the time to align them properly.

how does that have ANYTHING to do with being low?

You know you're low when your lawnmower has more clearance than your car. =)

Yeah my lawnmower doesnt do this to my grass

You know your low when you tell your passenger // girl not to get out of the car if the door will hit the curb ...  

(or there are instructions to ride) lol

When you go to a function with a dirt parking lot, and you have to go up an incline, and you tell your girlfriend to not get worried. Then she does, when she hears a big bang bang bang! and is like OMG what was that!?!?! 

Then you go, don't worry, it's just my exhaust piping. 

When you are at this same function, and you are worried that your car might catch on fire because of dried grass everywhere, even though you are parked in a place where it's already been chopped down, but still laying around on the ground lol.

......When you  can open your door on speed bump and not fit your hand between the bump and your side skirts.

...When you lose your second O2 sensor out of the cat due to teeter tottering in your driveway.

When you contemplate a custom flat tube exhaust to gain 1/2" of clearance to be able to go even lower.

All true.....and my junk isn't half as low as some of the cars on this forum.

When removing bumper reinforcements from behind your bumper isn't something that worries you because if you were to rear end a car, you would slide under it and your hood would take all the amuse, not the bumper

that happened to me, i tapped a lady at a red light going about .5/1mph, and i get out and my headlight was scuffed. i ended up hooking up the lady with a fresh front and rear bumper painting through my uncle for $200...beats her not calling the cops or anything.

wow driveway at my work is like way better, and its a country road, with gravel and a few uneven surfaces, where heavy loaded trucks go everyday(im in construction industry)

^^^Omfg!!!

Yea thats bad.  We got plenty of those in the city.  Over here its like "let me switch to this lane because the potholes aint as bad as the next lane."  There is no avioding them.  We bend rims and pop tires weekly.  If you love what you do, you dont find excuses, you just do what is needed to do.
 
 
You know your low when you park by a fire hydrant and there is a fire but they dont even break your windows because the hose  can sit on your roof

That's why their are only 2 season in the T dot.
Winter and construction. 
Water getting in the cracks of pavement causes it to heave up real easy and destroy the roads.
That pick is not even that bad compared to some on the highway that are 5-6 inches DEEP !

everyday you look back at your car when you get out of it and say to yourself "damn am i really that low"

[QUOTE=CamryVIP;252503]...When upon completion of road work the city engineers call you directly to perform an audit.[/QUOTE]

This i have to see to believe.

Now that I got a new car with big tires and stock suspension this thread has been constantly coming to mind while I drive. So here is my brief version of: 

[b]you know you're NOT low when...[/b]

...Driving is fun and enjoyable.

...You can't stick your hood under the rear of a schoolbus.

...When you drive by the bentley dealership and no one stares.

...You see a dead raccoon in the road, brace for impact, and nothing happens.

...Ingress and egress is painless.

And finally, you know you aren't low when you go for your daily KFC run and the guy says 

"New car? Nice! Now I don't have to strain my back handing food to you."

But I think if he stopped eating so much KFC it wouldn't be such a struggle for him. Then again I can't knock it, it's like if I made my own wheels, the man is obviously a KFC enthusiast doing what he loves.

when you have the car full, make it over and speed bump, and then the car is stuck so you gotta kick em out and tell them to get back in afterwards...

You know your low when your in traffic during rush hour and the construction workers who repair the highways all stop working and one of them goes "You do realize this is the BQE right?"

when coming to roadworks and every worker stops working and comes running towards you to help you to see if you can clear that massive step of missing asphalt infront of you...
you block of whole traffic behind you, and everyone realizes that i cant clear it, they take roadcones off and send me to closed lane so i can safely get onto other side of roadworks:))
THIS IS WHAT I CALL VIP  when they actually open a fully blocked off road just for you.lol hahah,
true story, happened to me few days ago when i went shopping and there were roadworks on the way

LOL! that really is an awesome story!!!!

...when you can't remember what it feels like to drive in a straight line.

-when there is no paint on the bottom of your bumper
-when u cant park next to a curb and open your door
-when u can see under other peoples side mirrors.
-when people have to sit up in their car to see you!

Jeez i usually get told before i even attempt to drive my car on the alignment machine.
 
"sorry mate we wont be able to align that"
 
Been told to go home from an exhaust shop because they couldnt get me onto their lowered car ramps. These guys deal with slammed cars all day but not my car?

I got a call from another shop, they left a message saying to just not bother coming in for my appointment.

I went in person earlier to make the appointment and got told "oh yeah, we do lowered cars all the time"... and now this... I guess my car has a reputation now?? Bollocks

when you look at your drive and mentally sayin dont scrape........
 
F$%K i scraped.....:pat:

so how the hell we supoused to get an alignment? my local shop got extended arms for lowered cars but lasers clear it by 2mm, so do get occasional "broken beam" thingy...
and i asked him what to do if i get it lowered even more...reply was dont bother to come in and ask for an alignment lol:)

I got a shop here with the lift built into the ground so you just pull in with no hight requirements :biggthumpup:

You know you're low when your favorite item on the dennys menu is the "grand slam"

You know u are REALLY low when u go into a steep drveway and dont even get phased by the fact that you KNOW you are gonna scrape. If i had a problem with it, my car would be higher!

When you're trying to follow somebody but you keep losing them because you have to slow down or avoid scraping on bad roads. The person in front of you who has never been in a lowered car does not understand why you are going so slow.

Correctiotn
  You know your low when you need to go into a seep driveway and you park in the road instead.

You know your low when you get out of the car and stand up...the roof line is at your belly button!

When you can't have an body kit

true story:

you know you are low when your in the middle of no where and there's a big sign in the middle of the road saying ROAD CLOSED.  You have to make a U-turn right then and there, but since the road is not completely flat, the car gets caught up on the middle of the road.

...when you need progressive stacks of plywood to get up your super low ramps to get  the factory scissor Jack undrneath to use your floor Jack just to change your oil.

.... When your car is in "3 wheel motion" every time you angle into a steep driveway or ramp.

when your driveway is all scrapped up
... and it has been said but i'll say it again and it is soooo true:

Your romantic restaurant nite out is dictated by the height of the driveways establishments have.

In short: 

The height of the driveway is directly proportional to the places I shop at.

lol this could be a vip style cars rule

Lol...You know your low when when you're used to getting mean mugged by little old ladies and soccer mom's in family vans for taking up the whole driveway - 3point turning into/outta shopping centers

When you get stuck pulling into a parking lot and have to rock back and forth in the driver's seat with the pedal to the floor and hope to catch enough traction to pull you free. All the while, a homeless guy on a bike he most likely stole is laughing at you. <--- true story:smiley-rofl:
