that's pretty dumb, doesn't california have a law that the middle of the headlights MUST be a minimum of 22 inches from the ground. they regulate how low you can go but not how high. it's a safety hazard for other drivers and for whoever driving that thing.

i don't think he would stay upright and yeah i think you would be a pancake. i was thinking more of not being able to see the road with his headlights shining through your back window and into your eyes.

I think this is the California vehicle code:

24008.5 CVC
(a) No person shall operate any motor vehicle with a frame height or body floor height greater than specified in subdivisions (b) and (c).

(b) The maximum frame height is as follows:

Vehicle Type Frame Height
(1) Passenger vehicles, except
housecars ...................... 23 inches
(2) All other motor vehicles,
including housecars, as follows:
Up to 4,500 pounds GVWR ........ 27 inches
4,501 to 7,500 pounds GVWR ..... 30 inches
7,501 to 10,000 pounds GVWR .... 31 inches

(c) The lowest portion of the body floor shall not be more than five inches above the top of the frame.

(d) The following definitions govern the construction of this section:

(1) "Frame" means the main longitudinal structural members of the chassis of the vehicle or, for vehicles with unitized body construction, the lowest main longitudinal structural members of the body of the vehicle.

(2) "Frame height" means the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest point on the frame, measured when the vehicle is unladen on a level surface at the lowest point on the frame midway between the front axle and the second axle on the vehicle.

(3) "GVWR" means the manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating, as defined in Section 390, whether or not the vehicle is modified by use of parts not originally installed by the manufacturer.

oh but usually I've got the superuser password so it goes something like this for me

% ./somecommand
denied
% sudo somecommand
error, because some permissions are set correctly and some aren't
%su
% ./somecommand
success!

I like the concept behind it, but more often then not it isn't setup properly and is more frustrating then its worth.
