When I worked at the shop, we had a guy come in with a lowered VW Rabbit. It was so low it could not clear the one inch lip of the steel rim around the lower bay access in the floor. We had to back the car over the opening to get to the engine from the lower bay. His oil pan was then accessible. Now I don't think the clearance of the car was actually less than an inch, it was an unfortunate combination of the super low car, a little lip, and a not-completely-flat-or-level approach to the bay.
Still. BEGGING for trouble just like this.
