Drive Throughs.. Mag Nightmares..

[QLD Calais]

I cant help but notice that the Fast Food Joints Drive Thru's are so daamn narrow! Every damn time i drive through I cant help but swear as my rear tire hits the gutter. I always think.. If i had mags.. Id be pissed!
Anyone else get this?

I've never had this problem b4, I think your on your own on this one

[J_D]

Only had problems at Red Rooster at Yamanto, all the other drive thrus in my area are sufficient width.

[hakhawk]

yep, mum rashed one of my rims at kfc the other day, thats why i take the extra few minutes and park, and go inside.

leave the hummer home and take onother car
ive never hit one but geeze its close

[Patrio7]

my nearest HJ's is tight with nothing but a square kerb separating the road from wall. too wide by an inch and you prang your front left, too close an inch and you'll scuff driver side rear door and backwards.

rim aren't an issue for me, i have 15"s

[94vrexec]

yes they are a problem! i havnt been through a drivethrough with mags on now but my hubcaps were fully rashed from the hjs in my town. its really narrow, and then when u get to the end, u gota chuck a really tight right turn. anyways i just park the car now mith the rims

[Sabbath']

Mulgrave Macca's....that drive-thru is stupid

[Shounak]

My word it is.. I still love takin it though..

Then Glen Waverley one is worse, with all the construction works going on.. Very tight..

[MikesVT]

The hungry jacks on dandenong road, bit further down from chaddy (near oakleigh holden/hsv.. they have a really tight one. Thankfully i never hit them but theyre fricken tight as. Try getting a 7 series bm through there... i dont think i was ever more stressed in my life

[Charg'd]

i reversed through the wellington road one (mulgrave), took a while, but damn it was fun

[beeks]

One of my first skuffs was at hj's,sound's like they are renound for this.This particular one was as tight as a nun's........well you know.But now I jdgaf because 3 out of 4 of mine have had touch up's in one way or another.

LMFAO i reversed thru the old Maccas that used to be in Mermaid Beach, but I got stuck and had to go backwards/forwards about 100 times to get around the last corner......... it also took a while, but it was also a shitload of (immature) fun!!

[smokey_dj]

ive done warragal maccas backward that is the king of time trials that one as well as manouvering did it at the thime the state youth games were on too so the place was bust as ###

you want a tight drie through though maccas on victoria street opp the freemasons hospital its undergrouns its square turns its got bollards and support poles thats a challenge then if you get thru order too much food cause the convey belt cant hack the wait to take things back up so they have to do it :P

[KingDiamond]

The thing I'm scared of is not rims, but scraping under my doors on the gutters because the Berlina is so low.

I always swing REAL wide and try keep it as straight as possible.

[Christina]

defenetly narrow, i only have 15's so not sure on rims, but even still, crunches on my front bar underneath sometimes

my mechanic rams down this steepp driveway alot, i dont want him test driving my car anymore

[5Litre]

don't want to sound like a smart arse tellin' ya how to drive but remember the car actually rotates around the back axle as you turn. You need to have the centre of the back wheel past the curb before you start to turn. I accept that some drive throughs are tighter than others but I used to get to drive my mates '65 impala all the time because no-one else could get it through the drive through and that is one W-I-D-E car.

[J_D]

True that. When im driving in car parks/drive thrus the missus always says to swing wider cause I almost hit the gutters and I tell her the same thing, that I only have to get the back wheel past the gutter to turn in. Doesnt stop her going on about it tho.
