People Don't Understand Low cars !!!

[08VWDUB]

So my 08 jetta has a set of sport springs on it

Its really not that low just a little less wheel gap

So today I was going waiting at a light to go strait across a intersection,light turns

There was a lady behind me in a massive GMC Yukon, the intersection has 2 very deep dips in the middle of it

So I did not want to bottom out so I had to go at them at angle and go slow!

Well miss Yukon must have been in rush because she starts,flashing her lights throws her hands,and honks her horn at me!

Of course I was not going to speed up for her and wreck my car,she ends flooring it around me up the road

So are all people in bigger cars like this,when low cars have to go a bit slower?

Does anybody else have this problem when there driving a low car?

[bherman13]

I hope I don't have this issue. I just dropped my car on a set of sport springs and I sure was underestimating how low it was going to go. I have not gotten it aligned and back on the road quite yet, but it's a lot lower than I wanted.

[Time for a GTI]

aaaaaaaaaaand we're off. ***trumpets***

[mike02467]

So it's not THAT low, but it's too low that you have to drive in zig-zags on the road? BTW, that's just a common case of road rage, happens all the time.

[VikingVR6GTI]

Nothing to add here.

[irishmpls_2]

You do realize you're complaining for being the a-hole that inhibits the flow of traffic because you wanted to lower your car, right?

I mean, lower your car all you want, but learn to not inhibit the flow of traffic, or get used to being looked at like a douche.

[vdubkid4life]

The car lounge is not really the place to discuss lowered cars..

What i do in this situation is air up, but when i was static i witnessed the same from people. Road rage

Choose the right lane when possible.
Use hazard lights as a courtesy to other drivers to warn them you are going slower than normal.
Consider raising your ride height if you are unable to drive over minor road hazards without damaging your vehicle.

[MikeSAABt]

I get the same thing in my completely stock beater SAAB, I'm not going to go crashing over road construction at 35mph because someone behind me doesn't want to slow down. When I drove lowered cars I really cared about I tried to drive carefully while being as unobtrusive as possible. But again, to an extent.

I also found after I lowered my first car I was unnecessarily babying it, the stiffer springs and shocks made some minor undulations feel much more severe so I was crawling all over town until I realized I wasn't going to rip my oil pan off I just wasn't used to feeling it so much

[Turbio!]

Oh, sorry, dude, I just gave my last **** to somebody with an interesting thread.

[scoobydoo41787]

Wait till you start trying to navigate parking lots with speedbumps, and impatient people.. I got rear ended on a speedbump actually lol and that was before I lowered my car

[TheDarkEnergist]

Its not a matter of "not understanding" people are sh*theads and always in a rush.

OP types with a whole bunch of

inconsistent length

double spaced for reasons unknown! Also uses lots of exclamation points!

If your car isn't that low, then you wouldn't have to slow down to a crawl and turn 45 degrees just to cross some ruts. Either your car is slammed or you were on a high clearance 4WD only road.

[2003VeeDuBgolf]

I would do what she did, I hate people that go slow when the light turns, trying to save on gas or some other dumbass excuse.

However, I have had lowered cars in the past, so I would probably be laughing and waving at you as I blare my horn passing you.

[nickthaskater]

If you have to slow to a crawl to get over a speed bump or a crack in the road, you're too low and you shouldn't be on the road. I f*cking hate having to do 2km/h behind some jackhole who can't comprehend a functioning suspension.

I try my best not to drive like a traffic inhibiting douche canoe regardless of what I'm driving.

[Calcvictim]

please post pics of your Jetta

FTW.. I have also owned lowered cars.. Glad I have a suv now and not have to give a rats ass about speedbumps, pot holes, dips, bumps, and any other thing that might cause you to **** bricks in a lowered car.

[bubbagti]

Lower it

[MikeSAABt]

"It's not Top of the Muffin TO YOU!"

No, it is!

[Non_Affiliated]

I really love those who have lifted bro-dozers that go slow over speed bumps.

They don't wanna risk bending their wheels with 22inch mud swappers duh

[Yak Meat]

drag caltrops behind your car... and it clearly needs to be lower...

[BetterByDesign]

Ladies in Yukons are honking and flashing lights all the time anyways. Who cares.

[deagle]

thats why i don't lower the car

road conditions suck today, so i dont' get lowering

[WakusPakus]

easy fix:

lower yours even more...so low that you leave a scraping hole in the earth and chinese people start climbing out as you continue down the road.



she'll run them all over and get arrested.

win

[guten_tiguan]

My guess is that the person driving the GMC Yukon could not understand why the vehicle in front of them is slowing down for what seems to be no reason at all.

Ever drive behind someone who seemingly brakes and slows down for no good reason (especially when there is no other traffic)?

Still, there is no excuse for road rage.

[leaftye]

You're a jackass for slowing down traffic because you effed up your econobox.

[VW1.8Tsunami]

I barrel down the streets of ATL and not a single **** is given. I don't get pissed though about people having to go slow on dips. I just use it as an opportunity to pass them.

[Heffernan]

Maybe you should reassess your definition of "really not that low."

[FourPointOh]

I think if your car is too low to safely drive on public streets without scraping then you shouldnt be daily driving it. Its a safety hazard to you and others. If your car wasnt lowered, and you veered because you were talking on the phone, the driver of the yukon would have done the same thing. Because they dont know what you're doing.

[SSLByron]

They understand that your **** is in the way.

Nobody likes getting stuck behind slow people, and unless you have your flashers on or you're showing some sort of obvious signs of distress, they're not much going to care why you're holding them up. You just are.
