I'm sure the roads vary anywhere you are. I've driven through ny and it was brutal. I think what it really comes down to is your own commitment to having a low car.
This is last year when i'd scrape my exhaust and feel bad about it lol
and this year, with tucked exhaust and skid plate, scrapes a lot more.
I'm from east canada where ice is constantly freezing and melting which seriously fucks up the roads, but it's worth it
