If the shoe were on the other foot, how would you feel if it was about lowering cars? It has been tried before. We can't give ground on these attacks, even if they're part of another hobby subset. The NIMBY excuse can't exist in the battle to protect our rights.

maybe sema can do some crash testing and present evidence for how high a truck can safely be lifted without providing an added danger to others on the road.
the legislation doesnt say you cant lift the vehicle. You could, you just cant have the bumpers way up in the air. So they wouldnt have to spend a lot of money lowering the car, they just have to find a way to make their bumpers low enough to be safe for the people they might kill. By having a monster truck, those people endanger everybody around them. a lowered car doesnt present the same added danger. With that said, a car that is way too low can also be dangerous.
