NF210 owner here who daily drives his Z in downtown LA with stock bumper. I can tell you that LA roads are HORRIBLY MAINTAINED! Leaving any establishment requires slow angled approaches...and even then you're not guaranteed to not scrape your bumper. Moral of story...LA roads SUCK!

I drive my lowered 2003 year around in North Dakota. I have had the car for a year and a half. It was lowered when I bought it. I would guess about two inches. I have now driven the car through two North Dakota winters with a set of Dunlop M3s. No problems. However, if we get over four inches of snow at one time, I take the wife's Trailblazer until the streets are plowed.

Oh and not only are we about to be bankrupt, we're also going through one of the worst droughts that we've faced in a looooooooong time.

The size of the state is a relatively moot point, because the more populated a place is, the more workers it has, the more tax revenue it receives. All of that money is going somewhere? Your point is that it is not going to roads...
In any case, the combination of all of that probably makes driving a lowered car prettty tough... I know that it is crazy out there, been there for a few weeks with work, that is all I can stand of that...

i never understand why people living in other states just hate on cali.. if you don't live here, you really don't have a reason to complain about california. especially since we provide half of your food.

How is the size of the state a moot point? The larger the state, the more miles of road that needs to be maintained(and believe me, we have many many many miles of traffic congested roads). How can we have more workers if we have no money to pay for them?? But yes, overall our money does not go towards roads. A lot of our currency goes toward cocaine & Hookers & Houses we Can't afford....but that's a totally different issue....
