Yep, sell it!

TBH, I really don't miss that at all now that I have a truck. I hated speedbumps with a passion when I had my lowered cars; especially those thin n tall ones. Now I try and speed up and see if I can launch over it with my truck!

Yeah, I agree! Unless you "winterize" it, it'll act more like a snow plow.

IMO rice is when you go for any look that sacrifices performance.

If he likes it great, I just will never understand it or want it for myself.
That's a pretty steep driveway.

I think you are over complicating things. Modifying a car, especially an import is a way of life to many; hence why they are called "car enthusiasts". It all trickled down from the drift scene and not everyone wants to drift their but they do want their car to replicate a drift car.

I guess you never been to the Bay Area! "Hella" and "Hecka" are to SF as "Dude" is to SoCal and "YO" is to NY.
