    Ok, ok its a 2 inch drop haha 1.5 is whats put down in the report though, the pic is a bit deceiving as to how tall the cover is, I centered it and did not ride up any of the tar that was built up around it, and on its own I think I would have cleared it, it was the big dip right before it and my car didnt have time to recover. Luckily I bought a parts car to make some money off of and its got a good pan and pump.
    Anyone want to buy some e30 parts? PM me I'll post the parts for sale soon.

              I have my own personal tow truck driver I call to tow all my lowered vehicles. He does a damn good job at not messing anything up. But that sucks! Atleast it didn't get the wheels too

                  cause the wheels are at the same location as the oil pan

                    Are you sure you were only going 15mph? That is a fucking ton of damage.

                              you must have been bombing it up the hill, and slammed it down after coming down off the crest. No way you hit that man hole.

                                You need a skid plate, it might not of saved it from that hard of hit but will for smaller hits.




                                Also, I would try to get the city to pay for some of the damage.
