Default So i think i might be too low...

i got a flat in the front and was slowly backing it up this innocent driveway to put a spare on and basically got stuck...










basically had to endure the scrapes and drive my rear wheel onto 3 planks of wood so i could have enough clearance to put a jack under my car. haha...this was also at 4-5am. after it all got done his driveway felt the wrath of my bumper/exhaust...(cant really see most of the scratches but oh well)

Not too low, you just went straight up the driveway.

Why did you back in? And yes, it would have mattered if you went in at an angle.

mmhhhhhhhmm I was gonna say you'll come up an inch if you just put air in those rubber things around the wheel.

Besides all my friends drive old classic bombs and sleds and we are much lower.
