Postby ch4ng » Tue May 31, 2011 9:27 pm

Saw this today, will post pics tomorrow once Ive done it. You eager beavers can go outside with a light and beat me to it if ya want

For those without youtube access:

Simply take off your shoe.
Shove it in the space between your tyre and guard.
Then take a photo of it and post below.
If you can fit your shoe in between your tyre and guard then you car is too high! (4wds not included)

a bit off topic, are those 18s or 17s?
The four seasons in Australia consist of "$&#$% it's hot", "Can you believe how $&#$% hot it is?", "I won't be in today because it is too $&#$% hot" and "Yes, the dinner plate size spiders come inside to escape from the heat."

What is this obsession with lowering?
I think cars with standard height look just fine.

Is this the new "planking" replacement?
LOL
It was the first thing I thought of when I starts raring this thread!
I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
