Entering the driveway.
A lot of owners lower daily driver cars for looks and/or have long tube headers, etc.
Forget or dismiss checking ground clearance or even know how much is needed.
Wait till they pull into a gas station, especially at night, and drive over underground tank fill humps
Or parking lot, side street, speed bumps.
Hope they have skid plates under the car. I now avoid those hazards with a wide berth.
How i know:
Muffler snagged a station hump while cruising one night in the 80's with passengers in car, stock suspension.
Got it fixed but ruined the night for me. Loud. Ruined playing the radio or conversation.
Wondering if a new Ford SVO single pipe/dual tip cat back exh assy, bought from the dealer, may be seriously damaged.
Found out later it was ok, but the front down pipe from the turbocharger was not.
The hump was higher than normal. Station would not pay for anything.
Lucky was not worse. Still haunts to this day.
