I've seriously thought about it. for the most part mine doesn't bother me, just squatting down or getting up from a squat is a little rough, and this low car doesn't help.

you should have seen me try to get in it a week after surgery when my knee couldn't bend more than about 25 degrees.

all the salesmen gave me that look that said "this fool can't even get in the car, why does he want it"

Mine doesn't hurt most of the time and I don't take a Handicap'd Spot just because I can, but there are times where it comes in handy. It also gets you Free Parking in some places ( Downtown Tampa, Sporting Events, etc)

I must be the rare exception. I've had my ZL1 for more than 6 years now, drive it daily in the summer, and haven't gotten a single parking lot ding yet.


Whenever I take it shopping, I park right along and among all the other cars. Often I may pick a spot that has an empty spot on either side of me, but it's not to avoid others from dinging my car, it's simply easier on me when opening these long doors.

Send me a couple BMR stickers (because I didn’t get any with my lowering springs) and I’ll shoot a video. It’s a lot easier than cramming Wilt into a bug. All I have to say is no sunroof on my car!

All I can say is <sigh> . . . . . I even did what my wife calls "exercise parking". I parked way out on the far end of the parking lot.

This. This angers me. This person either did it on purpose, or they just don't care. I'm not ok with either of those.

What a prick. At least that wasn’t your driver door.
