Slam it to the ground, put hashmark decals on the fender, put 50 vette emblems inside and out, put expensive tires, brake pads, etc on but never ever actually drive it.. Unless you drive it to a car show, even then don't go over 58mph

I just bought a stock 2004 C-5 and, as I sometimes may have to drive on graded gravel roads, and wonder if the ride height could be raised without damaging the handling or ride. If so where could I learn how to do this or have it done.

I don't think anyone will be able to assist you

My drive way is gravel,,,(2 football fields long with "s" turns)( and (my friend's is over 3/4 of a mile) so I take my time and straddle one side or another so the front wont rub.. Its just the way it is,, drive ways, parking lots, speed bumps, the list goes on and on.. Just be aware. Don't let these things keep you from enjoying your new ride. O - never herd of one being raised..
