oh my god yeah! so one time i was at a teahouse and the parking lot comes down to this crack in the center of the road. so if you look at it from ground level, the concrete forms a V that goes in deep. i was backing out and this bmw was backing out in the same direction across from me. i couldnt see her due to the angle, but she could see me, and all she did was honk while she continued to back in. then we bumped each other. i have this little black round scratch on my rear bumper now. erghoeruhg

theyre not chrome..
i lived in FL with the car way lower and FL has twice the amount of speed bumps...the one i was stuck on just happened to be abnormaly big
Your definition of functionality and my definition are completly different. Maybe you need your z high so u dont hit the parking stops when pulling into a parking spot at your local starbucks. Ill bet ill run away from you on any track.

You chose to lower your Z, now you are paying the consequenses, get over it!

^+1 you failed at the smallest speed bump ever. My Z is dropped on GF210 and NEVER scraped the bottom but once. The steep was actually 90 degrees and still got away from it lol

Gotta learn to drive practically sideways over those speedbumps bro. My Celica sat as low as your Z and as much of a PITA as it was, as slow as I could go on the hardest angle I could manage over speedbumps, regardless of who was behind me... they'll wait. I only ever bottomed out once or twice in the Celica.
Did you do any damage underneath?

Obviously they are not as low but low enough to scrap hard, but I don't. Its called driving smart not dumb. You might learn something. I'm not the dumb a$$ to get stick on something that is 2" high.

Seriously that is one of the smallest speed bump I've ever seen. I could probably run over that going 40mph. I wish we had those to replace our stupid paved mountains around here.

One of the few times I've seen a detachable speed bump. Be glad it wasn't concrete. I ride much lower and I would've taken something like that in an angle..... looks like things got worse when you decided to go off road. Oh well, you learned your lesson?
