Plastic where you're likeliest to have bump that doesn't leave a dent. Anyhow, they make'em with body color fenders too, and anyhow, I can't see'em from the driver's seat (or the penthouse for that matter). I'd *love* to have this vehicle, outfitted exactly like this.

I'd take it too. Hondas are reliable. And it has a lot of room for hauling stuff when you need to. Plus the camping thing. I like it.

You both would be off in the wilderness relaxing and grooving on nature, then when you got back you find out you missed a week and got fired.

It's winter time, adapt.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-02-2017, 06:45 PM

Everybody agrees, lowering is cool, the lower the better, amirite?

Nope.

D'oh!

When I worked at the shop, we had a guy come in with a lowered VW Rabbit. It was so low it could not clear the one inch lip of the steel rim around the lower bay access in the floor. We had to back the car over the opening to get to the engine from the lower bay. His oil pan was then accessible. Now I don't think the clearance of the car was actually less than an inch, it was an unfortunate combination of the super low car, a little lip, and a not-completely-flat-or-level approach to the bay.

Still. BEGGING for trouble just like this.

Did he like it or not?

Eeeevil..

It might work. I've seen them peeled off motors like you'd peel a grapefruit. It was ugly.

They don't need to be cranked down to a hundred goddamn foot pounds. They CAN, but they don't need to be.

Look at the long stripe

That's just 70s Mopar rusting before your very eyes.
