    Exclamation Danger ANY LOWERED CARS stay AWAY!!!

    I Just thought we should start a thread of places to avoid due to harsh curbs or huge speed bumps that will rip off front bumpers or leave you high centered.. anyways in taking my car out this last month i have bottomed out way too many times from brutal parking lots and drive throughs where it is almost impossible to take the curb on an angle.. anyways

    Stay away from drive through at the Mcdonalds in midnapore by the midnapore mall... The thing is fucking viscious damn near lost my front bumper

    Its funny that i even go through drive throughs because there is not eating allowed in my car!!!!

    and there is always someone right on your ass who doesnt understand or care, so there is no time to back up or shift your position

    leaving an impark lot downtown and this taxi van decides to take up half the entrance/exit forcing me to take it straight on ccrhshshshs!!!!!! FAUCK put me in a bad mood all the way home hahah fucker wasnt in his vehicle too (damn good thing)

    I know!!! that grease monkey at Mcdonalds just probably laughs everytime a nice car goes down that fucking cliff they call an exit!!!

    id just like to point out the notorious ones at mt royal. just the other day i was leavin a parking lot and this integra comes in, and its front bumper at the bottom where it obviously looked as tho it hit a speed bump had literally its paint RIPPED off. made me sad to see that especially since the integra wasnt rice, was just lowered with a subtle body kit *sigh*

    yeah ive learned how to avoid and take alternate entrances/exits.. but its usually never when your entering just when you get trapped exiting. Im not sure if its better to go slow and hear the nice long scrape or just gun it/drop the clutch wave the middle finger and get it over with???

    any suggestions on which method is better??

    The parking lot speed bumps here at the 8th street condos in Airdrie. Or the Intersection where pharmasave and centre st (in airdrie) is at. Ive bottomed out there. Entering the scotia bank/ panago parking lot in airdrie. Caution, they all sux

    ARRRG on the condos, luckily my car isn't lowered, but those are the STUPIDEST speed bumps I've ever seen, right at the bottom of a 45 degree incline there's a foot high speedbump. Who plans these things?! I just go in the back entrance from now on when I go to pick up/drop off my friend.
    Success is the ultimate revenge.

    I perfer to go slower, gunning it may cause your bumper to catch and possibly rip off. If you go slow you hear the scraping, but you avoid ripping off.

    Hmm, the princess auto entrance is pretty bad, and the speed bumps in the mall on 17th ave S.E. between 28th and 32nd(?) st. They're mountains out front of the Co-op, my old scooby wagon bottoms out on them, and it's pretty high.

    the speed bumps in front of sobey's in london town square...when you're coming from tim hortons/a&w headed towards sobey's, the first speed bump is brutal...but the second one before the stop sign is okay.

    also, every single speed bump in country hills or coventry hills (whichever one), around sobey's, burger king and all those places. it's not that bad but if you car is really low, it'll scrape almost every single speed bump.
