damn that cockroach is sportin' w/those sportlines :sillylol:

edit: on my car, I have to lift the nose of it to clear my jack. It's their "SUV" one, good lifting highth

wonder if it's due to the "lowered" springs, smaller sidewall tires, or al of the above?

(laughs) Good way to show height! Man, that sucks... hey did you ever read about (I saw it years ago) how some guys with 'Vette's put some kind of wheel setup on the front of their cars? Think like a wheelie bar in reverse; if they were going to bottom out, the steel wheels would hit first, and save the nose of the car...

Yikes, thats to low for my city streets. Some giant rubbers that limit the travel would be in order.
