its not that you have to drive slow ... you can drive as fast as you want .. i go 40 sometimes on bay which is a ****ed up street... the reason i said you need to know how to drive is because you need to watch whats infront of you and avoid the pot holes/ bumps or w.e ... this doesnt only have to be done if you car is dumped with big rims ... but every car even if its bone stock should be driving smarter ... drive smart .. and you can drive on any road with almost any car no matter the condition

As far as I know all of the cars I have posted are daily drivers, just sayin'.

You just kind of adapt. *Shrug*

I disagree with you when you say you can drive as fast as you want... even with my stock height MS3 I went over a hump on a smooth road with no holes but the hump made my suspension bottom out and I was doing the speed limit. If my car was slammed my engine would have bottomed out. I agree with on the point of driving smart by keeping a eye out for pot holes/ irregular bumps... thats common sense. Everyone that I know of have seen driving a slammed vehicle drives like a turtle unless your on the highway.

Re: HellaFlush mazda3s?

Keep in mind most of our suspension is fairly stiff.

Just throwing this here as an example, seems to be going highway speed just fine.

Some people consider it dumb, some people don't mind driving slow to look cool. My car is slow anyway, why not make it look good (eventually lol).

Well at least you can admit it lol...

not saying slammed cars dont look good but they are not practical.

Re: HellaFlush mazda3s?

I'll disagree on the practical part..... yes I drive carefully, and quite slowly over speedbumps etc., but it is still a daily driver (though I'm using the TTC to get to work downtown these days) and hauls around family and dogs quite well. I still load this bish up and drive where I need to drive.

Country lanes with foot-deep potholes? No. Pot-holed city streets and highways? No problem. (Speedbumps? Try to avoid them).

Re: HellaFlush mazda3s?

Think it might be a good tool for some drivers. Everyone generally needs to slow down anyway.

I agree - and your car looks awesome

But dude - don't fall for the "CreditCard Dream". I used to sell parts and even offered in-house financing. Lets just say IMHO, this hobby is not worth drowning in debt for.

I've seen guys use 3 different creditcards AND Cash just to buy a $500 part. I've seen ppl put things on layaway for as long as 9 months and still not pick them up.

Practical - yes
Comfortable - maybe
Paranoia - hells yeah!

I hate that feeling when you catch sight of a pothole or sudden lift/drop in the road at the last second.

Re: HellaFlush mazda3s?

when your cars this low and you have to go so slow to go over any slight bump, your just a pain in the ass to have on the road and can potentially cause accidents. a show car is for show not a DD.
