How Low is Too Low?

Band Wagon
Funny Story...
Today driving to work, I take the highway, Speed Limit 65, So I drive around 70 normally in clear weather. This redneck in a Chevy pickup is speeding up and slowing down right behind me. All I see is blinding headlights out my rear view mirrors. For about 8-10 miles I deal with then finally Ive had enough. So I slow down, by slowing down I mean I brake checked him a couple times. By this time hes on my bumper with his brights on and his deer blinders (brush gaurd fog lights). Then finally after 2-3 miles driving at 40mph I decide to pull into the gas station to get me a coffee before work and of course look who is following me.
Very concerned on my part I asked politely, " Sir, what seems to be your problem?".
He answers the way any normal redneck would, " Dat darn ol, rice burnin peice you got right thur".
"Ok? Let me rephrase my question. Why are you all over my tail and why havent you passed me?" I replied.
And finally after spitting his morning dip out he gets some words out about of his mumblin, backwoods, hillbilly mouth. From what I gather he says my Not once, not two times, but at least times my car is throwing rocks at his with one cracking his windshield.
And of course, me being the smartass I am replied, "Well that seems silly, how can my car throw rocks with no arms?"
I wish i could make this up, but then he got the most puzzled look on his face and honestly said, " You got a point."
So I bought him a coffee and headed into work.
Just goes to show you that, Yes, stupid rednecks do exist in Alabama.
The wagon does ride with its mudflaps dragging the ground for the most part and I love it!
My dad ask me the other day when I first lowered it, " How many Smurfs you slap driving over here?" Funniest thing Ive heard in a while...
So is dragging the ground constantly really too low? I dont think so.
Anybody else have any lowered car stories?

btw, there is no such thing as to low. When i first slammed my sedan the mudflaps scraped and eventually ripped off, and then i went lower
Two things happened to me in one night (on a first date with a girl no less)
I was pulling out of a gas station I had never been too before and the pavement angled up before it went down to the street... my car got stuck on the "peak" I had to get out and push it off. I should have waited for other cars to pass so I could go up at an angle.... live and learn!
Pouring rain and dark of course, out of nowhere I run over something dark, and it gets caught under the car making the worst noise you have ever heard. I have to pull over and get soaked to get it out, it was a black purse. And yes it was empty.
great first date
EDIT: to actually stay on topic, lower it more!!!!
This corvette came bombing down the road by my house, right in front of my house is a dip from hell . All I hear all day is cars scraping on it, and giant trucks and buses run over it and sound like they are crashing. One time a dump truck flew over it and the dump part flew up and then down causing a thunderous crash. Anyhow, the covette dude came bombing down the road, hit the dip with authority, and his whole underside was lit up with sparks galore just like the movies x3. I couldnt help to just bust out laughing, even bending over with laughter. He stopped like he either wanted to tell me something, or he was making sure his car was still alive . I do not know that it stalled, but it made some crazy noises. He said nothing to me and drove off haha.
sweet... then too low is when ur insurance wont cover you hahaha...
-however-
If I only had 2wd, I'd go so low I'd need a periscope to see and a neckbrace for all the corners I'd be taking at 40mph 8) ... I used to enjoy the attention when rollin in my buddy's slammed, baby-blue '76 Eldorado soft top with a pair of 18"s in the trunk and Daytons, draggin sparks and hangin up all over the place
If your chassis dont slap, then there is too much gap
etc etc

Low is the only way to go
too low is when a hitting a cigarette butt is like getting a root canal thought your butthole!
