Default A Moment of Zen...

I spent about five hours gutting my car for the track and to install sound deadener. I went to buy some groceries the other day and when I got back to the car I had a moment of zen:



P.S. Yeah, I put that can there - BECAUSE I COULD!

well i think it because his car is a lot lighter than normal since he took a lot of weight off.

It's 1" higher in the rear in that parking spot than it sits now in my driveway. Stock ride height looks so so stupid... lol

That is not normal, and will have no benefit at the track.

Could be the V6 springs, perhaps?

I could probably do the same thing with mine

It wasn't touching the curb (even though it may look like it in the pic), plus the previous owner had repainted the front bumper and then scraped up the lower edges of it again before I bought it. It could use another repaint so if it the lower edge scrapes over the curb or doesn't hit the curb at all, I don't really care either way... I keep the rest of it clean.
