Thank goodness you saw that in time. If I were the owners of those other cars that were damaged, that store manager or the shopping mall owner would be getting a bill for the repairs.
I'm running at 3 1/4" without skirts and nearly got beached recently on some plastic bolt down humps. That's the first time that I've seen concrete speed humps.

Just driving through the Best Buy parking lot and almost ran into the new "Berlin Wall" speed bump! I've never seen one this high in a parking lot, especially without Security Forces and M4's pointed at me.
It was giving most cars a hard time scrapping and gouging all that tried to go over it. It tore up a cars exhaust system earlier and the owner had to pick up the pieces.
Saw a 4X4 truck roll up on it and perched on top for the driver to take his photo on it! I told the store manager she was going to get all kinds of lawsuits for tearing up cars. She promptly went in the store and pulled out some of thiose warning signs they use for "Wet Floors" and blocked off the Berlin Wall speed bump.
I told the lady if any lowered Vettes (like mine) rolled over it and damaged them, she was gonna regret having it installed. I just drove around it...and hopefully others do the same!
While I agree that thing is just plain stupid,you would have a very hard time proving anything in court due to your car being lowered from stock height. Nuetered vettes have to crawl around like lame race horses all the time.
The concrete contractor showed up to resolve the height problem, MAYBE. Or the contractor is used to dealing with the government and knew they could charge more for the additional work.
