Ouch...
I used to work at Sears in the Auto Center. One day this kid comes in with his moms Civic (all riced out, of course) and says he has a flat tire. We put the car up on the lift and find out that he took a hacksaw to his springs to lower the car. Well, the spring shifted and had a nice sharp edge that poked through the tire. (he had the spare on backwards so it wouldn't rub) We told him we could sell him a new tire but wouldn't put it on and couldn't warranty it if the same thing happened. He argued with the manager for 20 minutes, then the manager finally told him he would have to sign papers saying we weren't responsible, etc etc.
The kid did, we put the tire on, and by the time he got halfway across the parking lot we saw him breaking out the jack and spare tire again.

LOL what a poptard
Well,ive got one for yall.
I was doing some work on top of a bank a few years ago. Me and the crew watched this lowrider(I wanna say it was a s10,maybe YOU did this lol). Anyways we watched this lowrider move up to the atm,do his business then when he drove over the speed bump he got stuck. Apparently He dropped it super low and didnt bag it. So ofcourse he sat there for 45 minutes trying to get it off and we all sat back and laughed. Finally a friend showed up and helped him out.

i once lowered my 2006 Acura rsx to within 2" off the ground on coilovers i installed myself, broke the tie rods during install...
replaced tie rods, put wheels back on... forgot to use the four way on driver side tire so i had it on only finger tight.. lost my wheel 7km into a test run.. i was nice and low after that...
costed me a rotor and a fender, fender liner.. i was lucky.. lost it going 90KMh but car was so low wheel got sucked into fender and prevented the coils from being ripped off.
