I hate parking lots with excessively large speed bumps.  Yesterday I nearly tore off one of my front mud guards....one of the screws got pulled through the attachment hole and the guard no longer sits flush with the body.

Dammit!

why do our cars even have mud guards? I took those bitches off the first day I got my car lol.

What I hate are those big ass speed tables. People freak out behind me when they see me go over them like grandmaw

Was just creeping over them....damn things stick up like 6" off the ground.  Perhaps I should just remove them to increase my ground clearance.  And I'm only dropped 1.5"

The location of the incident is a 2-way road...cant go sideways or I would be in the other lane.

Yeah, speed humps are very annoying.  
Hell, if I have a choice, I go to gas stations that have a low sloped entrance or totally go grandma mode.

My school used to have this ridiculous speed bump... let's just say it was removed within the next two days. It was literally a foot and a half tall. The only way to go over it is if you had an SUV, lol.

I got my car stuck on my friends driveway trying to back out of it. There are these little metal looking skis that took the damage. I havent hit any speed bumps though.

I guess he has money to burn.  I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs.  Fucking amateurs.   :Smiley

my mud guards sit about 1/2 inch off the ground, I purposely like it because now i cant go over them at all, so i dont have to worry about anything

I thought the front bumper weight was stage 1? Or is the intake resonator stage 1? I'm so confused.
