Ground clearance, as I understand it, indicates how deep the wheel well is for the tires to go up into, or how high the lowest point of the chassis is above the obstacle you are attemping to get over.

I don't believe it indicates how high of an object it can clear at any speed without some structural integrity compromised/damaged/destroyed.

Ground clearance is exactly that...how high the lowest point of the vehicle is above the ground. You may jack the body 10 feet in the air, but the rearend housing will still be only a few inches above the ground. For most vehicles with 15 inch tires there is about 4-5 inches of clearance between the rearend and the ground.

Did you miss this?

I am on this narrow two lane road just after a hard rain and I notice that I have a nice shiny new BMW right on my bellybutton (and I was going the posted speed limit)

He was doing the speed limit after a hard rain, thats called driving safe.

The guy in the bimmer was a Moron. The Guy in the SUV was driving the way you should, safe for the conditions.
