OK NEW RANT!!!!

So... Alysa (,my wife) 's cousin told us that she has a TV that we could have. it is a 27" to replace the 20" that is in the fireplace room (my 37" is in the family room) so i go there to pick it up and the development is littered with speedbumps. They suck. they are not just speed bumps they are speed TABLES. so i know to go slow over them because i tend to scrape. it is not like the bumps that you can come at it sideways ANYWAYS.

Her street has these NEW speedbumps in the beginning that are HUGEHUGEHUGE! and i noticed the first one because it is Yellow. so i try it super slow and hear a SCRAPE so i stop. Go around to the other side and come down the street from the other angle and i am going slow because there are lots of kids that live there and what happens

*** WHAM FORD SCRAPE BOOM GRIND*****

well there is another speed bump that is NOT painted and i get the front passanger wheel over it and just dead lock on the sub frame. so i back off of it and just park in the middle of the street

This was so loud that her cousin came out of the house.

so i was so pissed that i just left the FORDing car in the middle of the road while i go in the house.

Bottom line... FORD speedbumps.

I feel you guys with the speed bumps, USF had fucking buildings as speed bumps. Me being stock, would come so close to rubbing, my friend would have to park so far away because his lowered Maxima couldn't even come close to making it. It was crazy! Then our other friend was so low in his Lexus that he couldn't even make it in a parking garage going straight up the ramp lol.

Yeah, that's how it was at UNF and UF, hated visiting friends because of parking issues and just driving on campus :agreed:

My friend has a lowered 240 and when we were in highschool he could not get into the student parking lot because of the speed bumps. So he parked in the staff lot right in front of the front doors haha. I'm at stock height and i rub the front skirt.

Bloody fucking hell! As much as I love to post on FullThrottleV6, every now and then someone will make an asshat post:

who the hell modifies a grand am? at least a v6 f-body looks like something, a grand am like that makes me think someone's parents bought them a car and they fucked it up with a bunch of aftermarket garbage...

This is from a V6 Camaro owner, which in turn, those cars are dogged on as much as mine.

Fucking fuck!

dont even talk to me about my 2g eclipse. that thing was such a pain to take over any speed bump. i wish the vibe was lower but kind of glad its still a lil high even after lowering 2". but then again, with the 18's with tire, the wheels are just about a half inch taller than the stock 16's with full size tires.

so tupper, did you get any bumper damage at all?

I know that Im new to this site, but why is it that people get soo upset when someone has an opinion about their ride? No offense to the mods or admins, but when someone posts pics of their rides, they have to be willing to accept that people are going to have their view about it. So I really dont understand why the adminstration steps in the way they do.

I understand that the administration want to keep everything on topic, thats understandable. But why post pics of your ride if you cant take the heat? you know?

Thats my rant. Thank you. :woot:

(its just a rant so you dont have to reply)

I have no problem with you telling another member what you don't like about their car. I have done it numerous times but I DO NOT go "IT SUCKS!!!" then leave, I say "I don't like blah because it doesn't contour the car theme very well." or whatever it may be. Just saying it sucks will not help the person, although it is an opinion, thus we don't allow nonconstructive criticism. Plus we would like to keep a friendly environment where people can post their cars and opinions. If you have something bad to say about a member either don't say it, add a way they can improve it and/or why you don't like it. Flat out dissing them and telling them it looks rice will not be allowed either because it is also nonconstructive.

I hope this clarifies things and please PM me if you have any more concerns on this :badGT:
