There is like ONE track I could go over a little faster than others because it is not complete garbage near me, but I still go over it slow. Force of habit, I guess.
Sooo you slow down to say 5 mph in let's say a 45mph zone????

I MIGHT slow down depends on the bump or track.. I've been a ASE tech for years.. One of them certificates is in the steering and suspension, and I promise a regular set of tracks don't throw an alignment off..

That point isn't irrelevant.. If your the dumb ass that damn near stops at rail road tracks to creep over them because your car is so low you have no choice.. It's an impractical car.. If you have scout teams that ride in front of you, it's an impractical car.. If you have to drive around a whole parking lot to find the lowest point to enter, it's an impractical car..

At the import tuner meet, there was this stupid hella flush kid, stopped just barely creeping over a set of tracks, and a guy in a white Lamborghini murci just drives right by.. He slowed down a bit, but really a Lamborghini just drove buy you on the tracks, yeah.. Your looking cool bro..
