Default Low ass car + steep driveway; What have you all done?

Well here's the situation...


my car is low as shit and my driveway has one of those stupid sloped curbs at the end along with the driveway being a little bit steep at the beginning. The sloped curb itself is too tall for my front bumper to even clear it.


Just curious as to what you all have done/bought in order to park your car in your driveway. I'm just not a fan of always having to park in front of neighbors houses on the street, kthx.


i'll +rep good ideas

Go out of it at an angle. This thread would work better if we saw how low your car was.

add in your own asphault/concrete to build it up. Check with homeowners association first. I have seen people do A full length custom ramp that looks very good, maybe a plastic type, like modified ramps would be good.

U own the location? Pics?
