You know you are on air If...

[Niagara_V_Dub]

actually, yes...

the tires have no role in protecting people from lightings inside a car... all faraday's cage..

as stated HERE (in a VW Golf!):

Yes BUT if your hit by THUNDER things have horribly gone wrong... like laws of nature no longer apply. Your getting messed with not cause the science, instead because you said thunder.

oohhh

Now that we got that out of the way, if you're subframe is grounded, your electrics are still going to get fried. They're just not designed to handle an inrush of such voltage. If you were not grounded, you're correct that the car would be fine. However, as soon as you're grounded, all bets are off.

[Dutchmastr9]

if a bunch of dudes in a kia suv ask if you want to switch cars for the day, then pull up next to you and hold up traffic while being honked at and make you air out for them

[4TheHonor]

When going to the drive up ATM is no longer a pita, you just air up instead of hanging halfway out the window to reach the buttons.

[shadowdglx]

When at your place of employment and customers are walking by your car and running their finger along the fender till they hit tire... Then the confused face appears.

[ripNdip]

when you can drive and drag your subframe across the ground

[mihneagabriel]

When you're co-workers come up to you and say

"dude, you're car is sitting on the tire! ON THE TIRE!"

I have an older coworker that tells me this every time he sees my car. I tried explaining it to him at first but he apparently didn't get it now I try to give him a different reaction every time. Last time I acted really surprised and ran out of the store toward my car; his face was priceless.

[Markg813]

Hahahaha, I stopped trying to explain to people.

[choey]

if you hear people talk about how much they dis like air ride.

people assume mom and dad bought it for you.

[plastic_bullet]

You catch a glimpse of your car out a window and you drool over it for a second before you realize its yours lol.

I was smoking in the driveway last night and caught myself just staring at my car

[010CarbonSteel]

when your wife is afraid to drive your car because she might air out and break something...

[Chris Anderson]

mine will be done in 2 weeks. cant wait for the "" looks from people when i air out. haha

[rgarjr]

lots of newcomers bag riders I see.

[jettaaddictionII]

when i had issues with getting the jack under it, i just aired up.

[hussdog426]

Bagriders is where it's at

[shadowdglx]

When you blow a sidewall because your elevel doesn't compensate like it should and your stuck in a bellevue parking structure with a flat at 2 am after Stance Wars... Oh and we had 5 guys in the car. Could have been that.

[wwtd]

When you drive and you hear a pop. You just know is the bag, and not the tires.

[Niagara_V_Dub]

When to get under your car, you don't jack it up... you air it up.

[darcness]

When you are on the way to a show and blow an air line, but say screw it and drive there fully deflated on one rear bag anyway. Then you fix it at the show to a crowd of onlookers and win first prize in the MKV division.

When you have people constantly tell you something is wrong with your car, like flat tires, broken suspension, etc, on a regular basis. Happens especially at work.

When you dream about that little "hiss" sound that an air leak makes. Sometimes you even CONVINCE yourself it's there when you know damn well it's not.

[Dr.Aitch]

You know you are on air if....


...all the older people in your building who thought you were a clean-cut young professional no longer want to look at you because you drive "that car".

...your dog no longer needs a running start to jump into the hatch.

...your parents say "if it was meant to be that low, it would have come that way".

...you make sure you pick a parking spot with no weird holes or bumps before you air out.

...you laugh when you scrape over speedbumps because you can't believe you are that lazy not to air up.

...you get people popping their blow-of valves at you in traffic, so at the next lights you say "I can make that sound too" and air out.

[plastic_bullet]

You send an additional two grand to get that last 1/4'' on the ground

[Andrew@ORT]

Hah, I just don't air up because it hurts my ego

[Burth]

If you almost rip off your subframe, brake oil pan, twist control arm and dog bone,
While driving to low:p

[Rob Cote]

What's a brake oil pan?

And that post could just as easily (and probably more logically) apply to static. If you did all that damage driving on air, you're just a fool.

[MoWsE]

When you blow a tire, call your roommate to bring you your spare... Then he asks, "do you want me to grab the jack too?" and you reply with "nah, I'll just 3 wheel it"

"Esl"Broke an oil pan! I'm still learning sir!
You think I'm a fool because of that?
I got air bags so I can ride lower,
Btw you're a douche. 👎

Hopefully soon I'll be able to contribute to this thread

[Niagara_V_Dub]

Forgot to put my favorite thing...

No longer use the parking brake because you lay subframe

[Rob Cote]

Hopefully soon I'll be able to contribute to this thread

Maybe someday, when you're old enough.
