This is for everyone who is lowered. I just wrote this in another post but I want everyone to know about this for your own sake. I was being stupid and tried to get a cheap car wash at the gas station on my nice 2003 sedan. Well my car is lowered and when my back tires came over the wheel holder it came down too much and the tire hold caught my exhaust canister. I was stuck for a couple minutes until I was able to turn the wheels enough to get an angle for the canister to pop out. It pulled out my front 2 pipes (stillen exhaust) and the canister and piping was totally bent downward. I started driving and the diff was knocking the crap out of my piping. Couldn't go over 5mph. This was on new years eve. Luckily the Goodyear was open and it cost me $60. to get it bent back. So hopefully someone will learn from my mistake. Now I only go to hand wash places for my car. The places that pull the car through by the weel still work. Just not the gas station washes where you have to roll over the thing. To myself ------->

Man that sucks. At least wasn't tremendous money to fix it.
