Beware, danger of scraping thread

[moocowmoo]

So living in the southwest, we all know how shitty the roads can be, I searched for a similar thread, but didnt find one. With the bad roads, we should have a place where we can post up trouble spots for low cars, things like scraping danger, getting high centered,things like that.

I think it would be a good way to help people who are going to unfamiliar areas avoid messing up their cars.

Ill go first:

1) In redlands, the mcdonalds off of tennesse I believe, DO NOT use the drive thru, the exit is impossible to avoid scraping, i know... I fucked up my lip today there.

2) On indiana ave. in riverside, starting at Madison. if you are drivig toward Arlington Ave. stay in the left lane.

Good Idea.

[yangs14]

dont go to the mcdonalds on westminster/goldenwest if you're slammed/kitted you arent getting out normally. that shit used to scrap on my s14 with no lip....

when driving on the 605n just after the 91 freeway, there is a huge dip in lane 3 or 4...just stay in the fast lane....my car is specifically higher than normal because of track (frame is a couple inches off the ground ((pictured below))) and my tires rubbed super hard....usually doesn't ever happen.

oh, and don't drive in whittier without paying attention to everything....all their roads are fucked up, and stay away from parking lots... i teder toddered on a speed bump getting fast food...luckily i'm welded.

Extra care required when passing railroad track on washington blvd after garfield in the city of commerce. It won't only mess up your suspension, your deep dish wheel will also need balancing.

^^^^^^yo, i've only seen maybe 1 or 2 240's in that area, but they usually are just daily driving cars....they see me wave...and just look the other way...i don't think they understand that my car is also a 240 lol.

[rollout240]

Is the sushi, free beer and buff asian guy in a flower shirt worth scraping your front lip and driving over land mine of a parking lot?

hell yea it is! 20 dollar all you can eat sushi not the best but pretty dayum good, and its always packed with the ladies :boink:

any where withen a 10 mile radius of the Archiebald Exit off the 60 is horrible. I work off Archiebald and Francis, driving to lunch is pot hole after pot hole .... no bueno the 40 series tires is hurting

[nrg]

just make a iphone app that can gps tag a location. it can also ring your phone to let you know if you're coming up to a "scrapping" location.

[BloodBath240]

Yeah Pomonas got some bad streets but if you do drive through then avoid mission and any side street haha also temple. In front of cal poly and mt. Sac

[worangejuice]

Santa Monica blvd traveling west between Western and La Brea in hollywood. There is the nastiest fold of road sticking straight up in the right lane. I mean there's a point where its just like what the fuck is the city doing!
It is in the middle of the lane too. So it will rip up the entire bottom of your lowered automobile.

[xsidewayzx]

FORT IRWIN, CA. High centered on all driveways, had to jump out of my car and push it out.

[ddf2006]

highway 74 going to hemet, the road is ok till u get to the mountain, once u get there stay in the left lane, the road dips were ur tires are and u will scrape horrably. my friend was driving behind me and saw a flood of sparks hit his car from me.

[iamtheyi]

state college south of chapman in fullerton. orangethorpe... a lot of it. I don't know... roads out here are scary and I'm just on springs.

[Calichingon]

[drift213]

[Rag]

Make some manly skid plates and drive better, seriously. The majority of your roads are amazing by east coast standards. Some of us east coast people daily in very low cars with little to no issue. I don't see what the fuss it all about.

[ghettohatch]

1) In redlands, the mcdonalds off of tennesse I believe, DO NOT use the drive thru, the exit is impossible to avoid scraping, i know... I fucked up my lip today there.

i didnt scrape... haha yeah thats a nuts one though, or anywhere in redlands

[ghettohatch]

oh yeah 7-11 on el camino in san clemente, the one by an auto body shop i believe, i got stuck there its shaped like this -> V

obviously you have never been to socal. I have a planned route to work....and that's because getting to the freeway is annoying. Let alone, I know which lanes, on what freeway, have dips hard enough to rub enough tire to smoke up my whole car. Yes, most of so cal is this shitty. Which is why you see monster truck 240's. Unless they drive just city streets, not going over any railroads.

fyi valley view in buena park/la mirada area...there are rail road tracks near the end of valley view...no low cars at all. road comes up about 3 inches past the railroad track.

(going to whittier from santa fe springs) on santa fe springs rd, right before whittier blvd...going towards whittier, the left lane also has a 2-3 inch high piece of gravel that lifts up past the railroad track as well....drive on the right lane only.
