    I've really enjoyed this series, you might want to continue with it. Although, don't sell the 944, you'll regret it. I've owned a 944 S2 from my 20th to 26th, 6 years later I still regret selling it, especially when seeing you guys get so excited about it!

    Loving this! - Also a tip for a future "Living with a ..." video: Today I saw a slammed early 2000s BMW 5-series estate, which seemed to have 2mm of ground clearence, skipping like a demented puppy over the un-even street outside my place of work, while going south of 40 km/h, having it's wheels at angles that would suggest total suspension failiure and scraping it's underbelly in the ground every 3 seconds. Looked absolutely rediculous - so naturally I want to know how it is to live with a slammed car? Please - I need to know!

      Its terrible honestly. Sacrifice anything for "looks".
      I bought a sports car that was lowered, not even slammed, I got so sick of constantly scraping on speed bumps, driveways, and all that stuff that I raised it back up to factory height.
      I couldnt fathom driving something completely slammed.

      Bought a civic type r EP3 a few years ago, mugen everything and on coilovers. I ended up putting the oem shocks back on. Can't mount on a pavement to park so narrow street parking is a no go, you'll scratch the body on the pavement if you're not careful when parking, ride quality is horrific if it's a daily and not a track monster, handling was impeccable and it looked beautiful, at the sacrifice of comfort and convenience.

      Because that’s all it’s worth. You could spend 30k on a full strip down restoration but it will still only be worth what the market says it’s worth, you would get a bit of of a jump
      because of the condition but you will never get your money back. Who knows why they sold it, circumstances change, I emigrated last year and had to sell both of my cars, one I intended to keep the rest of my life and the other I’d only bought 9 months earlier. You never know what’s around the corner.
