Lowered car get on Seattle ferry?

Anyone have any issues with getting on a Seattle ferry with a low car? I am unsure if the scud can make it. its lowered 3/4 of an inch from stock. please let me know your experiences.

I really doubt you will get on, at least safely. Don't do it.

I take the ferry every day for work and drive my AM every so often and have had no problem getting on or off. I have not lowered my car at all but am considering RSC springs at some point. Even at low tide when the ramp has a nice incline to it I have not had problems.

Hope this helps

Lawrence,
If you must, try to time with the high tide. Otherwise, don't do it.

You're also better off if you can go on the boat first. When the boat gets loaded up with several cars it lowers dramatically.

Back in the days, when I had Honda Accord with 4-5" off the ground, had a hard time getting in & out of the ferry, obviously scraped the hell out of the front & rear.

I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Yeah, if you make the mistake and hit a low tide, it's painful. Ask me how I know.
