also, just renting... so i can't just go and pour cement and shit like that.


those ramps look good, but fuck that just seems expensive for all that it does... there has to be an alternative or a cheap diy thing

I was gonna decribe it to you, but than I thought. What you jimmy do??



Just make sure not to hit your mailbox, as long as your two passenger side wheels are somewhat on the sloped curb, your car wont scrape.

You could probably make your own ramps of somekind out of wood or something?

My Civic wasn't really low, but my driveway was a lot worse than that, so it pretty much evens things out. You should easily be able to get in if you go at an angle. I pulled in mine pretty much the same way Wally has it drawn up.

my buddy has a piece of steel the width of his driveway with a right angle welded onto one end of it. like an L, no scraping.

ps-i know its a shitty description, i can show you or scott though since i know hes having the same problem.
