My IS Vs. a steep driveway

Driveway won... I couldn't make it

Just thought this would make you guys laugh - as it jacked the balls out of my suspension





for reference - my normal ass height - with me standing by the car! I took out my face - so you could imagine some hot guy there



and yes... that is right - I set up a tripod and stood next to my car to take a pic

Haha - glad you guys laughed as much as I did.

The car is back to its stock height - that is just how much the car tucked trying to go up that driveway! I guess that was a lot of stress on the rear of the car... probably will try to avoid that in the future

And DarkMastyr - that video was pretty much awesome haha - holy crap those CO's were doing their job
