    That reminds me of a story involving this guy. My friend was sitting shotgun in my first ever Tacoma while we were both hungover as hell on the way to work at our first mortgage job and I rear-ended a lady who was turning right at a stop light who started, then stopped her turn. Smashed into her pretty good. Of course we were one block away from the office. That was not a fun morning.

    Lots of fun to drive anything with air bags. I could lay frame, drag it down the street, or lift it in the air which I was sitting at almost stock height so curbs are never an issue.

    Agreed. Both those trucks are pretty awesome.

    I like bagging trucks/cars, but it's such a pain in the ass. Nothing sucks more when you are stuck on the side of the freeway because a bag popped and you can't lift the front end of your truck up. That was such a nightmare day.

    Driving the civic is a real pain in the ass. No airbags, maybe 1.5 inches of ground clearance. There has been times I've had to back up and take other routes because I knew I wasn't making it over the speed bump.

    I have also high centered my CRX on a speed bump once. That was funny was hell and was an expensive fix. Oil pan ripped off, exhaust was torn off by the header which stripped a few bolts that went into the block.

    Lowered is a lifestyle.

    Thanks, I have a great Mortgage Lady who has been looking out for me for 3 years. Im confident that shes got me covered.

    I prefer driving over speed bumps at 30mph and not even really noticing them.

    There's one spot near Old Town scottsdale where the speed limit is 40 and crossing this one intersection there's a dip for water to run off and the road dips down for it and then rises really quickly out of it.

    I always watch when I go across it because it'll be super smooth at the speed limit and then the car(s) behind me won't think there's much of a bump and they slam into it and get bucked around pretty good. I'm a mean person but it's funny.

    I debated about refi'ing mine a month or so ago when the rates dropped under 3. Got my buddy to lock my cousin in on a refi of his house for under 3 at least. So at least 1 of us benefited lol

    I had these at one point. Blue was all go, no show, Black all Show, No go! It was built a little too much for the drive line, and had a tendency to throw the rear shaft when going into passing gear!!!
