Morons and dropping a car

Here is what happens when you are clearly too stupid to be allowed to take out the rest of us ( intelligent people ) air.

Yes lowering a car.

I thought I was going to see a picture of a car that got dropped off of something by accident.

Ever seen the world's lowest VW Beetle? It doesn't even look like a car anymore.

Wow. This really is a safety issue to all that share the road with them. Unfortunately, every car community has that niche that takes it so far past extreme, it's just a rolling accident.

On a happier note, I'm glad to see Mike Kojima is still writing! I used to enjoy his articles back in Sport Compact Car, and I guess haven't kept up with him since.

Like everything else, there is a right way, and a wrong way, to do things.

I had a VW Jetta and it sat .25" from the ground with a steel skid plate.. I'd rip off reflectors on the road..

THANK GOD I've grown up.
