There are many opinions being vocalized in the CSUSB community. The question at the forefront of our minds is whether there should be government or state control on firearms in California.

By Emmanuel Tanopo Staff Writer

Scrape no more, car enthusi- asts! Here is a guide and mental map of where you can park your sweet whip without the anxiety of bottoming out. For many of us in California, we use cars as our main mode of transportation. People get attached to their cars, some even giving them names. There are also people who love their cars so much, that they put extra money into them, equipping them with lowered suspension, better exhaust and body kits. In a service to those people who own lowered cars, a test car provided by Zestino Online has been used to test out the best and Emmanuel Tanopo | Chronicle Photos worst points of where to park Girls Dead Monster is an all-girls band made of students from the afterlife school.

On top of being lowered, it also has a body kit! I had to angle every dip and speed bump that I have seen. It is to lessen the risk of scrappage because instead of the wheels moving over a bump two wheels at a time, each single wheel passing over gives it a more even approach. The way each driveway will be rated is going to be judged on a scale of easy, medium, and hard. Easy means as it sounds: easy entry along with a slight necessity of angling your car. Speed bumps are easy. Just remember to approach from an angle. There is always parking on campus. It is all about knowing where.
