hittin' curbs

[xLibelle]

this is enough of a lesson for me. At least its not touching.

Can't scrape if you back in. ;)

[xLibelle]

anyone have to think about it everytime they pull in forward?

[TwoJ's]

Have to think about it? I'm smart enough to realize that the front of my car won't clear a curb.

So no, i don't have to think about it every time I pull in a parking spot, I just know.

However, I think about it every second if my wife happens to be driving the car...

I lol'd!!

But yeah I realize how low my car is and how high standard curbs are. I believe standard curbs are 6 inches high. My car is like 3 1/2 with the iS lip.

6 inch curb + 3 1/2 inches of clearance= NO GO.

My i lip is just high enough that I scrape on the lower side of it without doing any damage on the rare occasion that I fuck up my parking job.

The big pain in the ass is the curbs that are back from the sidewalk that you don't see sometimes. The other day I was pulling in at the gym and they had a fucking curb 3 feet in front of the sidewalk that I couldn't see at all cause of the angle I came in at. all of a sudden BAM. my fucking tires hit it. I was hoping to got I didn't nail my valence.. thankfully I didn't.

I thought that's what the front plate is for?

[eric (^__^)]

my roommate drives a civic ex coupe that I swear has been lowered. Every time I ride with him he pulls in and scrapes the curb. It makes me bust up laughing every time.

[PУCCKAЯ_e30ka]

my front valance does not clear a curb (it scrapes the bottom)... so I or IS lips won't clear it at all.... and I scrape with my muffler a little if I pull in too far.

Early euro front end FTW... My pan is less than a pack of smokes from the ground but my lip is still a foot off :)

Screw that, rock Bilstein HD's and you'll be able to summit any land mass short of a building. :D
