    A few iPhone pics of my cabby.....

    So my car has been on the back burner for a few months now, and it still pretty much has been sitting in the garage the whole time. Only difference is, now its sitting in my own garage since I recently bought a house.

    My last oil pan carnage was last summer, driving home from Sacramento. This btw happens to be the 7th pan since I bought the car back in 2007. I have installed air suspension so that I can drive my car and not break anymore pans. Love it or hate it, it works for me. The convenience of adjusting ride height at a touch of a button. No more scraping, no more busted pans, no more angling at speed bumps.

    Enough talking and onto the pics....

    Sitting in front of my house......


    Rear/side shot


    Maximum ride height/bag capacity, I usually ride around half this height......


    My bucket before the air ride..........


    I think im a bit too low........ :(

    Why go to the trouble of installing air controlled suspension to have your car sit so low? Why not just have it sit higher? What's the appeal of a scraping car and 7 broken oil pans?

          He raises the car when he drives it so as to avoid said problems, and lowers it down for photo ops/meets/shows.

          I've seen this car in person, very nice.

                because he likes it.

                i could ask you why you expend so much effort on making sure your bolts are nice on your engine but wont tear the bottom end out for just a minor refresh while its still out of the car.

                  Its an evo m3 bumper seal. Might be available from the dealership. I got mine from a guy selling it on r3v a couple years back.

                  Actually, I love it, but dislike busting oil pans. I got use to it after a while but got tired of swappin oil pans. I sorta went through oil pans so I can swap it out pretty quick now. LOL!

                        Here's a song for you.

                        Pans on the ground
                        Pans on the ground
                        Lookin' like a fool with your pans on the ground
                        With the gold on your wheels
                        Hat turned sideways
                        Pans hit the ground
                        Call yourself a cool cat
                        Lookin' like a fool
                        Ridin' downtown with your pans on the ground

                        Get it up, hey!
                        Get your pans off the ground
                        Lookin' like a fool
                        Ridin' slidin' with your pans on the ground

                        Get it up, hey!
                        Get your pans off the ground
                        Lookin' like a fool with your pans on the ground.......LOL

                          Wow you are good!! Did you write that yourself? Well if you did, you write songs similar to Taylor swift, but she makes the dough and you don't. LOL!

                            No, I just modified the song "Pants on the Ground".
                            BTW, beautiful vert you have there. As you can tell, I'm a little partial to white verts.
