The Block in Orange County, lowered car friendly?
Just like the title says, I'm going to 'the block' in the OC and want to know if my car will survive, or if I should even park my car there period.

the speed bumps are not lowered car friendly...be careful of the bumps next to the krispy kremes and D&B...

Honestly, its totally worth it.
I've thought about adjusting my coilovers a little higher, but everytime I'm walking to or from my car I just stare at it. I love the low look to much to give it up. Usually I find a way to manage parking, even if I have to pay the valet to let me drive my car in through an exit without speedbumps, I manage.
I don't usually ask people, but I know quite a few people on here go to the block so I thought I'd ask.

This is what I was lookin' for. And the post above that about the car getting stolen. I'm going to ride with a friend. I like showing off my whip, but not if there are a bunch of immature jealous kids standing near it.

I'd be more worried about all the cops there than the speedbumps.

For us guys who likes the cars lowered look. Everywhere is a danger zone. Just have to know if you can make it or not onto a ramp.

Try not to take your Z if you can. Speed bumps are another thing..the color of your car and bodykit might attract attention, including haters.
