How Low Is Too Low
Went to the chippy on my way home from work and spotted this Merc waiting at the lights. Pic is not great as I had to use full zoom on my phone camera
I'm amazed he could actually turn the wheel !!

Re: How Low Is Too Low
truely terrible, I like a nicely lowered car as much as the next guy, maybe 40-60mm really sets most cars off if your not interested in comfort
I've lowered 3 of my cars in the past. But to lower a car so much that it makes it dangerous and difficult to drive is just plain madness, the owner should be shot

He may have become so infuriated with getting his wheels clamped he preformed this modification to his car in order to prevent clampers.
That does look mad, I've seen it on the 306's round here, what sort of a turning circle does them cars have?
