<![CDATA[Lake Express Ferry with low-ish car?]]>I am thinking about taking the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon this weekend in my e28. The last time I took a vehicle on the ferry it was a suburban, so I wasn't concerned with low-car obstacles. 

Has anyone brought their lowered car across? I'm not dumped, but probably only have about 4" of clearance. 

Any insights are much appreciated.

I had a light high-center scrape underneath the car while getting off and on again in Muskegon. I pulled straight on--with a stock ride height car I assumed there wouldn't be a need for stancelyfe maneuvers.

I got out and watched the ferry as it pulled in and watched other cars load up and everything looked fine. So I pulled into line to wait my turn. I got on the ferry just fine with very little maneuvering, life was great. Little did I know that it was the other side that was the issue. A 8" dip that most normal cars were scraping their bumpers was the obstacle. I folded my bumper in half deciding the only way to make it was "hitting it with speed" although it sounds worse than it was, I made it out alive and the bumper was undamaged. I will certainly think twice about doing that again. 

My civic and its ride height at the time for reference.

doesnt look like its full of obstacles. there seems to be a slight bump between the dock and ship. maybe a phone call to them?
