I am lowered, but like I said that has nothing to do with it. Its irrelevant because I slow down anyways. I didn't say anything about an alignment being thrown off?

I do not slow down either in a parking lot. Then again I am not the norm and I can just hit a button if I need clearance lol, but even at my driving height that is never the case.

Maybe tracks by you are different, but the ones near me are complete shit. You can call me a dumbass all you want, but I will continue to go slowly over railroad tracks, and guess what, if someone runs into me its their fault for not paying attention. If they cannot see my brake lights or my 4 way flashers going over a railroad track (which you should be slowing down for ANYWAY to make sure a train isn't coming - if you get blasted by a train and the signals/arm doesn't come down its YOUR fault as you are still suppose to look both ways before crossing) then they are the dumbass, not me.

Don't assume things man.

Don't assume everything in my post was directed to you... I made a generalization you took it personal.. @omar gc is the one that made the comment about alignment, and there are some bad tracks around me.. I slow down for them.. Again you think I'm talking about you personally.. I'm talking about the people that slow down to 2mph, hit the tracks and drive through two or three lanes to get over them and at a creeping speed.. That's impractical.. I'm not suggesting anyone slam into tracks at speeds that can damage cars.. I'm saying if you have to creep over tracks sideway at 2mph... That's impractical.. Running over a set of normal tracks won't damage your car.. Won't knock off alignment, running over jacked up tracks is a different story.. I was using this as a case of impracticality.. Omar GC brought up busses.. Most places have laws for them to stop.. They are not worried about messing up the bus because they ruined their car and made it impractical..


Point is.. If you have to stop to go over tracks... Your shit is impractical... That's it.. Get butt hurt if you want..
