So true. i laughed at my baby momma's place. "no i would never buy this place. my car can't even make it in the driveway"

I'm actually looking at houses right now. I tried pulling the S into the driveway of the first house, got stuck. My car is on stock suspension so I'm going to have to rig something up if I want to be able to get into these Raleigh driveways!

I agree with you, Touge, however, I'd rather put down $100 in stuff to make the S clear the driveway then spent $20k more for a house with a completely flat driveway. The issue in Raleigh is the drainage dip they put in front of each driveway, it's very aggressive. I'm going to have to drop some 2x4's or something to fill in the gap.

Yes you can build a cheaper alternative from scrap lumber, but in the end you have a 'tacky" pile of scrap lumber. You are buying a nice house, shouldn't the entrance be a smooth. attractive asset to the property. You want to avoid damaging your vehicle and anyone else's that may visit, do it right the first time.

Thanks for the Griot's Garage link, that's a great way to fix the driveway problem, even though it's a bit pricey. I'm going to find a way to make something at Lowes and make it look decent. $300 + shipping is still pretty pricey for what that thing is.

i just lay 2/4's down , throw plywood over it and call it a day. It takes me about 3 minutes every time but everything cost me 20$
