only time ive hit the lip was drifting in the snow. Chris is right, the roads here are really bad, especially if you drive downtown and in the crazy parking garages.
Cracked my lip and splitter.

I get people trying to evil-eye / honk / flip that bird when I take driveways slow and angled. People are too goddamn impatient... I think they just don't know that some people actually care about their cars. I guess a smashed lip is better than a CREAMED rear end. nice work Jordan btw.

the difference here is, oregon is very hilly while chicago is flat.. hell, I bottomed out my ix in a few parking lots down there. they have some of the biggest god damn speed bumps I've ever seen!Originally posted by C ///MEveryone complains about cracking lips/spiltters/etc...
I'll never understand it. I don't even have a scratch on my splitter, and I live in Chicago. We have the worst potholes, dips, cracks, uneven pavement, shitty steep driveways, and curbs in the country, thanks to lazy, awful city workers and the use of the most road salt in the nation. Just buy stiffer springs already and save yourself the aggravation.Comment

Signal a bit earlier, get on the brakes earlier, and give em the bird right back :POriginally posted by clavinZEROI get people trying to evil-eye / honk / flip that bird when I take driveways slow and angled.

Or stop and get out. A car is like the internet, people act like e-thugs when theres no real danger to them, but when you get in their face, they sudennly turn into a puss.

The difference is, Chicago has got the worst roads in the country with dips the size of Oregon. You complain about speed bumps....ha, we dont even have those anymore, we get these things called "speed humps." They're about 5 speed bumps wide and 2 speed bumps tall. You guys are a bunch of women.Originally posted by nandothe difference here is, oregon is very hilly while chicago is flat.. hell, I bottomed out my ix in a few parking lots down there. they have some of the biggest god damn speed bumps I've ever seen!

welcome to the 'I broke a rieger lip' club
on that note... mine broke again while my brother was autocrossing the car
the splitter should not have cracked though, did you make it yourself? I'd make another one with some thicker/stronger ABS
my lip literally tore in half horizontally before anything happened to my splitter (nothing ever happened to it)

I remember those little speed humps, I need new batteries for my digicam so I can take pics of our "speed ramps". My moped bottoms out on them, I don't even attempt it with my car. One time we went up the road in my cousin's mini truck...
