Yesterday I was driving the Corvette to our first cruise and there was a dead ground hog in the middle of my lane on a two lane road and there was no time to avoid it because there was an oncoming car in the other lane so all I heard was something that sounded like thunder going from the front to the back under the car. My car is stock height and still bottomed out on that ground hog. Any of my other vehicles would have just passed right over it. Lucky it was only a ground hog and not a car muffler or larger item laying on the road. Would have really torn up the whole bottom and front air dam. Should make you guys with lowered cars do some thinking.

I do love my lowered Vette but I have scraped on so many things, have to be so careful.
Funniest situation I had was asking my co-pilot to get out cause I was high centered on a speed bump hahaah..
Worst thing is not being able to go through any car washes but I usually washed my car myself anyway.
There are zero performance benefit from lowering but it sure looks cool

I popped an armadillo on US1 in Cocoa FL real early in the morning once. I had to smell cooking armadillo meat from where it splattered all over the headers until I could get to a lift and scrape it all off. There were pieces of shell everywhere. Other than having to replace the airdam and a few gags pulling guts off no harm done.
