He's been using big pieces of wood, but I'm assuming there's gotta be some sort of ramp out there. Anyone know of something like this and where i can find it?

I've known folks to alter the driveway to solve this as if it happens to one car it will happen to some other's too, T Guest Anonymous Poster Feb 20, 2008, 1:29 PM Post #4 of 5 (6329 views) Re: Car bottoms out on driveway Sign In Even at a steep angle it doesn't work.

I'd fix the driveway if you own or make up something you can tolerate out of wood that will do, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
