Now get this. Its height is 5.4 inches shorter than our SKY.

Wow, that is low. I hope they don't get road burn from being so low.

You said shorter. By the post right after yours do you mean shorter or lower?

LoL, I was worried about that. I didn't want to say "lower" because that's usually associated with ground clearance. I didn't want to say shorter, because that's normally associated with lenght. So.....I said "height is...shorter". Operative word: height.

I could have said "height is....lower", but someone would think I'm talking height above ground to bottom of car (clearance). So I stuck with "height is shorter" which would keep us away from ground clearance and not confuse with length.

And now that I've thought about it some more, the proper write up would have been "height 5.4 inches less than our SKY"

knowing the dimensions of our car,
I knew exactly what you are talking about

They keep lowering the the parking lot gate at work ,....
soon I wont be able to go underneath it.

I may have to get a lambo just to keep from paying for a parking token

I found out the hard way how "LOW" to the ground my Sky is. A few weeks ago I hit a piece of someones exhaust pipe laying in the road with my muffler when I passed over it. I measured then ground clearance of my muffler, and it is 4.5". Bummer, I really have to be careful about small objects in the road.

Damn Bogie, anyone ever tell you you think wayyyyy to hard.

Maybe to say the Lambo is 5.4 less inches from the ground to the roof line than our SKY!

Darkwing · 06-16-2008, 07:31 PM

You mean the ground is 5.4 in closer to the roof in the Lambo than it is to the sky?

rufusmacblorf · 06-16-2008, 07:36 PM

Yup. Here's an image of the new Lambo Recaro seats.

Amazing what only $400,000 buys in a car these days.
