    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.

          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.

            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.
            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!

              Signal a bit earlier, get on the brakes earlier, and give em the bird right back :P

              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.

                  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... Scrape Central.

                          Oh ya we do. FUcking Portland Loves our Speed Bumps, If you can call them bumps, they are big enough classify as i a hill in some of the plain states. Fuckin things are killer on any car, let alone slammed cars.
