My C300 Sport is too low! #speedbumps #potholes #killme
I'm not very familiar with driving such a low car. I've only been driving this car for only for a few days and every time I slowly hit a speed bump or pothole, my car goes "BOOM". My heart aches and I'm distraught.
Is this normal or am I just a bad driver? This is going to be my daily car. I honestly don't know how people drive this thing around everyday. It can't be good for the car. Please advise!

Take speed bumps at an angle or approach at slower speed.

Must be some big speed bumps, Try driving at them at an angle. Here in Saskatoon, streets are littered with ruts in the winter from the thawing/refreezing brought on by our bipolar weather, and I haven't had that hard of a time. Also ditch the hashtag thing.

I'll have to try taking speed bumps at an angle. Do you mean going over the speed bump one wheel at a time? Ie: Front left wheel over bump > front right wheel > back left wheel > back right wheel?
What do guys think about girls who drive such cars?

Yeah the idea is to approach at an angle, front left, followed by front right. Same thing works for a steep driveway, or you could buy some of these. The only time I've seen a chick drive a C is in the movie Jack Reacher, and Tom Cruise ended up totaling it.

What kind of MBs do you see girls driving?I did get a used CPO. Less than 20k and in new condition. I'm not sure if they modified it. I do have the avant garde package - whatever that is.
excuse me lol............

I doubt that will work for my home driveway. It goes underground. Very steep. Since I'm the only girl seen driving it... I must be super cool. What kind of MBs do you see girls driving?
I honestly don't know much about cars. You guys will have to give me tips. I'm going to start off with tints. Not sure what else to do yet.
