C-bodies out getting exercise.

I really despise C bodies that sit very low and all the suspension geometry is messed up and undue pressure on all the bushings that go wtih it. Personally, I like best cars that sit just a little higher than stock, especially in the rear.
The worn parts worry me more than the stance, but I understand the messed up geometry that goes with a lower sitting car. But I love the low stance of my 500, something about it is just, right. The gray car is jacked up in back, lower than stock little in front, and has never given me any trouble in over fifteen years.

I'll be like Doc, take a pic every time I fill up! I do use Shell for the 500...

I painted some bean bag tables last week for some company teamwork deal. I didn't want em rattling around & scratched in the bed of my work truck so I threw one in the trunk and one in the back seat of jumbo and hi ho off to work we go. Dropped em off everybody's happy and I even took the guys to lunch. It's a rare rare time when we all fit in one car. I don't drive my truck once it gets home cause I live in it all day. The store the donut shop the movies running errands or whatever jumbo fills the bill. Door dings come with the territory gotta love a cheap paint job...

Now that's what I'm talking about!
 
When I grew up in Chi-town, fall peaked around the mid to mid-late Oct; I miss Jonathan apples!
 
This was taken before I retired. My 300 at work. That was my reserved spot in the basement garage. A shot (from my company car) of the other end of the garage and the door headed out.

I missed the opty to take a pic of mine on the rollback Monday night :p Overdrive solenoid body somehow split and started leaking out the trans fluid. Didn't make it home...

It seems you have pushed the limit going substantially higher than stock. I was just wondering why - i.e. what benefit do you receive or do you just like the lifted look?

Just an honest question, not a criticism.

Steve, if you are referring to me, I agree. I purchased the car this way (3 years ago) and there are a few more pressing matters on her that I need to take care of before I get to the suspension. I do not see much if any benefit from running the front of a car so high, though the rear leafs are sagging a bit and that probably amplifies the extra height of the front end.

And for the record, I knew it was an honest question. I have read enough of your posts to know when your are asking an honest question and when you are taking a swipe :D

I guess that depends on the person and look. I still think this is a badass stance, but that's just me.

Ya no ****. And when Daley gets elected, it will the third act of The Machine.

Who ever knew Indiana (or Wisconsin for that matter) would look like a better choice to live! I have seriously pondered moving the homestead to Indiana, but with my business right in the heart of the West Loop (Lake St and Western), it would take twice as long to get there from where I live now. I only have 20 years to retirement...*sigh*
 
Me last saturday. Got out of work around noon and wanted to the ol girl out. Went and grabbed lunch and went out to a friends house that was having a bonfire. I was out till 2am in the morning that night and she acted great!
