Um was that car lifted?(it looks like it)

Worst thing to do to a luxury car ever(suv ok car heck no)

You would be surprised how many people make a lot of small cars into low riders (I almost had one go under me one day as they didn't try stopping in time)not realizing that the bumper isn't the same hight as it was before

Yep people can be crazy down here in the south(I have got used it after a while)

No, not lifted in the traditional sense... Refer to Jalopnik's Guide To The World’s Most Hated Car Culture: Donks for info.

For lots of "donk" LOLs, check out DONKSNOB.

I'm definitely in the "hater" camp.

The crazy things people do to a car

But to each they're own

I still say that town car looks pathetic like that

OK, question! I will be in Asheville NC on Saturday noon. I need to be in Washington DC on Sunday night. Should I do a straight shoot via Mapquest between the two places, or should I add a couple of hours for a more scenic route? if so, which route? I want fall colors! Smile

I will be leaving about 2 in the afternoon from Asheville, and via direct route it's about an 8 hour drive, so I can easily add up to 4 hours of driving between Sat and Sunday.

thanks!

Watch out for the truckers curt!!

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/8/truckers-ride-constitution-aims-snarl-beltway-traf/

Truck drivers are expected to descend on the Beltway on Friday for a political rally protesting causes ranging from the government shutdown to low wages for drivers — but claims the group planned to intentionally clog the roadways and shut down the region appear to have been overstated.
Kicking off with a rally and drive around the Beltway on Friday morning, the group is encouraging a wider general strike that would last through the weekend. Organizers encouraged truckers not to haul freight and asked supporters not to purchase any products or services that aren’t completely essential.
But a Georgia trucker who made sensational comments to U.S. News and World Report about circling the Beltway “three lanes deep” and planning to seek the arrest of members of Congress for disregarding the Constitution admitted Tuesday he is not an organizer of the group and that he sensationalized his claims to ensure the protest got coverage from reporters.
“We ain’t going to do that. Everybody knows it would be real stupid,” Earl Conlon, 50, said Tuesday. “It was just my way of getting your attention.
“It’s politics,” he said. “I did what the senators do. I said one thing and did another.”
Mr. Conlon, who is hopeful but not certain he will attend the protests, said he would like the demonstration to be peaceful and respectful.
The group’s legitimate organizers are communicating via Facebook about their plans and goals.
“The only way to get our legislators to operate lawfully and constitutionally is to penalize them with a credible threat of a shutdown,” organizers wrote in a statement about the event.
Originally billed “Truckers to Shut Down America,” the protest is now called “Truckers Ride For The Constitution” after the organizing group’s original social media sites were shut down.
Truckers plan to rally at the Doswell Truck Stop, close to Kings Dominion in Doswell, Va., at 7 a.m. Friday and then drive up Interstate 95 to the Beltway. The group’s website encouraged drivers to outfit their vehicles with signs referencing the Constitution or with American flags.
A route map on the group’s Facebook page shows that trucks will be directed to the Inner Loop of the Beltway and other participants in cars or motorcycles directed to the Outer Loop. From there, it was unclear what the exact route would be, how long drivers would circle the 64-mile Beltway, or whether they would then venture into the District.

You should try coming into Toronto at 6am from the East end. 140-150km/h bumper to bumper. It's great! It's like being in a Nascar race with 10 000 other people LOL

One of the east-coasters should chime in on this with the details, but since nobody has... Yes, definitely add some scenic route. That's a really, really beautiful part of the country - especially this time of year!

Definitely plan on driving some of the Blue Ridge Parkway. From Asheville, head up to Roanoke, VA... From there, you can drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, for a few hours, or more. Mountains and trees as far as you can see, and twisty, twisty, road. Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park is also awesome. You could drive both, and it would be a gorgeous drive, but it would probably more than double your travel time - like from 4 hours direct on the interstate to 8 hours on the back roads. But, it would be awesome.

There's also lots of cool driving in southeast Virginia like Colonial Williamsburg and the Colonial Parkway, but I don't think you'll have any reason to be over that way.

Oh... When you leave D.C., you could drive the National Scenic Byway on your way back west.

TONS of really cool American history in those parts. I'm jealous!!!
