For some reason it's always a Camry that makes me think my car is low

Parking my lowered 335xi coupe in middle America often feels like driving through a canyon, but it’s easy to chalk that up to everyone driving pickups and SUVs. So when my view is filled with the towering ass end of a normal car like a Camry, the low-ness becomes, in a way, more noticeable.

This is not the first time the back of a Camry caused me to post this observation on Oppo , but here we are again with an icier version.

Now obviously, my car looks low in relation to this brotato chip:

But when it plays peekaboo behind a boring regular Camry, that’s maybe even more “hey this car is low” action:

Does your 3 sit low?
Does it sit on the floor?
Does it speed through the light?
Is it fast is it blue?
Could you scrape it on a curb?
If you high, it make you low
Does your 3 sit low?

Everything is higher than my lowered NA.

A former coworker had a Taurus SHO, I’m sure I parked next to him on at least one occasion.

(His car was totally stock except he went to the trouble of painting his brake calipers red, ugh.)

Oh lord a SHO...great idea executed wrong. Water pump went out on a friend’s/customers car. 17 hours book time to replace it. Also might have cooked the head gasket. That’s 30 hours.

Except for this lowered NA.

(I cannot condone many things about this car but it is low.)
