Default Dang, my car is stiff...

Put my car on a 4 point hoist tonight. One of jacking points wasn't touching the lifting bracket because it was lower than the other 3 brackets (they are adjustable). I knew the ITR had a pretty solid frame but damn!

This is because all garages are required to have a slight grade to drain water in the event of a pipe breaking.

Damn, I am a question answering machine tonight! No matter how meaningless

Is that true? Garage floors aren't level?

Cryio,

Yep. It is a building code requirement.

How about this one.
Every time I go in or out of the parking garage at work there are 2-3 black rubber triangular speed bumps on the turn/ramp going from one level to another, and I feel so bad about "torturing" my car's suspension and chassis (not to mention listening to the sway bar bushings and other pieced creak and groan).

Typically, yes it is. Minimal 1-3% depending on jurisdiction.

I was at my co-workers place (he has a 4 point lift in his garage ).

And yes, it was the passenger side rear that was about 1 inch lower than the rest. At first I was worried and thought both sides of the rear was off of the lift, but then I checked the other side and I was shocked Damn!

My co-worker (chevy fanatic) commented on how he liked how stiff my car was even with such a slight deviation on the lift points.
