Default steep driveway help




ok as u can see i drew myself a little picture..

i cant seem to make it in my driveway.. i live in a duplex now and my neighbore drives to big cars.. that take up ther whole side so i can never angle the car to make it in right so i have to park on the street.. and this street is really crowded.. i need to know if u guys put boards.. or somthing to help u get out of sisutations like this..

the brown thing is a tree

green line is a 4 inch drop off

red box = other cars

solid red box = me


i have a full cwest kit.. and new paint.. and it really pisses me off when i scrape and i'd hate to loose the look by raising the car..

friend of mine had a deep lip on the rain gutter in front of his driveway..

he used some of that skateboard ramp plywood (cause normal plywood would just crack) with a 4x4 post nailed so it fit into the gutter. the sheets are of a decent size and made a niiice gentle slope.

first, spell check is your friend
second, why don't you just ask your neighbor to pull his two cars/trucks in a little tighter. why does honda-tech have to solve your problem? Ask your neighbor to move his ****.

your house would look stupid with pretty much a ramp at the end of yoru driveway, it will get soggy in the rain, and get shitty, and your house would look like a trailer(if not yet). I'd say go to home depot and buy those huge bags of cement, just mix with water and craft yourself a incline, lol? its like 10 bucks for a big bag i think. goodluck.

i used to live in a house with a drive way the same way. The only way you can do it is go in at a angle. Yeah you could build something but do you realy want to put this thing up every time you come and go
