A while back I was at a gas station kindly minding my own business when I heard this god awful sound. Some dude in a Mustang with ground effects had managed to pull his front wheels completely over and was now straddle of one of like a concrete "curb." Granted this parking lot is stupid and it's an absurd place for the curb, but it is BRIGHT YELLOW.
It gets better, rather than try to back off of it he decides to go forward. I watched him rip all the ground effects completely off of the car. I was laughing so hard I could hardly take a picture, but I managed.... must have been on my old phone though, I'm gonna have to see if I can find that, it was HILARIOUS.

The great FAA after 9-11 put a speed bump in as you come in the gate. There was no way to go round it. When I saw the asphalt company putting it in,I told them to spread it out. The guy said no the contract calls for 12 in. wide and 8in. high. After they tore the exhaust system off of a couple cars and people were parking on the street. Because they couldn't get in. They jack hammered it out and put another one in. ( OUR LOVELY GOV CAN'T EVAN BUILD A SPEED BUMP)

You guys think a lowered C4 is bad, try a stock C5. Mine scraped on EVERYTHING, no matter how slow I went and how much of an angle I took it at - even with the Z51 suspension. I drag the front spoiler on the 91 maybe 5% as much as I did in the 99.

The bad thing is that to come up with those measurement there was at lest three meetings with 20-50 people in them.
