Also you are right about the stock height of the nismo. I was wrong. It IS 4.5" off the ground. Even so, I couldn't get onto my driveway no matter what angle I tried. But I am still planning on going lower haha... I have a truck for DD so I don't care.

Not sure if it's bravery or stupidity
-- Yeah the tires just turn to hockey pucks below 40 or so. I just go light until they're a little warmed up from highway driving and I usually don't have issues. Last winter I got stuck coming out of a side street because there was a slick patch of snow/ice on the road. A cop came over and very graciously pushed the car for me while I gave gas to break it loose. Really nice guy --- except he started by pushing on the spoiler rather than the bumper (and this was a big dude who had some strength) and I was like
nooooo! He said I had a real sharp ride.

This car is really unique on trips; it can get tiring but when you realize that it pulls in 6th on a rural freeway, it's very easy to wake yourself up again. I drove this back and forth to college on several occasions, from Philly to St. Louis, which was about 900 miles each way. I did it over two days and it was long but peaceful.
