Low-Riding ain't so easy.
 
I was leaving my friend's house tonight, it is a gated community and they have a fairly low speed bump and some spikes at the exit, those spikes are the ones that you cannot roll back on or it will pop tires. I have been driving over them with no problem for a long time, but tonight my luck was bad and one of the big nails that hold the speed bump in place popped up and caught under my car. I was stuck and can not move at all, then my car somehow rolled back and my front bumper lip got caught on the spikes that are placed about 5 feet in front of the speed bump, and ripped right off. My front bumper also was torn half way off my car, bent the driver side fender a bit. I finally called AAA, they showed up in about ten minutes and saved me.

speed bumps suck.

black06z May 27, 2008 11:49 PM

Spikes and speed bump? That's kind of excessive. That gated community must have a lot of VIP's, huh? Sucks about the nail. Lucky thing you don't have a front lip.

deviljon May 27, 2008 11:51 PM

^ read closer, the op mentions he has a front lip.

NISMO_558 May 28, 2008 12:22 AM

those spikes look like they could pop a tire just by rolling over them regularly

dang that sucks, those wheels would be sick on my superblack, lol, and those calipers need to be painted imo, still a great looking Z, sorry to hear about the night from hell.

chromesilver6 May 28, 2008 05:53 AM

Ouch, i would never ever go back there again. Also i hope the place is paying for your repairs. That just sucks. Car looks really really sick though man.

usmanasif May 28, 2008 06:46 AM

Your friend's gated community is like Hotel California. You can checkout any time you like, but you may never leave.

USMCAraiza May 28, 2008 08:51 AM

hahahahaha...sorry man, but ur inconvenience just made my morning.

67ZNISMO May 28, 2008 10:13 AM

dude, I'd have whoever owns that area pay for the damage. They should be held responsible.
