Default no fast n' furious for us..

a while back.. i think talkin to Lips2000 and Wesmaster.. about wheater or not we could pull off the under the semi stunt they did in fast n' furious w/ the civic. no not seriously considering doing it.. just if its possible.

well tonight there was a wreck on 1960.. i was stuck right next to a semi.. so i was measuring up if it was possible.. even w/ the car dropped.. like 2-3 inchs.. the windshield wouldn't clear it. and if it could you'd have to duck.. probably only a lamborgini or miata could pull it off.. hah.. hey i was bored.. the cop behind me was probably wondering what the hell i was doing.

If you drove under the same lifted trailer that they used in the movie it shouldn't be much of a problem...

Thanks for the heads up. And who says you can't learn something new from this board everyday?

They did it in "Somkey And The Bandit" with a Trans Am. Same thing, they had the trailer lifted a lot. I tried it then, not going to try it now with my S2000.
