Default an upcoming decision on my car...

i drive a 01 accord cp. it has a 1.75" drop and im at the point where the scrapes on bumps and ditches on the freeway is getting to me. i just took a long roadtrip to go camp and lets say i prolly fell into every ditch possible. Trust me, I have a very keen eye on where to avoid but at night, you might just skip a few bumps. Im now contemplating selling my car back to honda...first put it back to stock and getting a rodeo or some nice suv. you guys think i should just rasie it my .75" and drive more careful or do u think the idea of getting an suv is better. Plus i think i'm growing outta this racing scene. Tired of messed up integs reving on me all day and mustangs cutting me off jus to catch my attention to race.

and also, you won't be happy with an suv, seriously, they are way overated, and a little too large for my liking as well....but i as well don't see how you scrape a lot with a 1.75" drop...unless you have a body kit on there?...but anyways, raising it would be your best bet because nothing is more comfortable than an accord!
