Only thing I can see working is the usual set of wooden planks. Thing is, those aren't permanent, and can be a pain to set up if you're in a rush. Or, can you park your car at an angle LOL.

Should just build a ramp with 2x4s or as mentioned use the other side, I drag my lip going in and out of the garage :(

It's a more permanent solution, just make sure the city doesn't really notice.. But where your front end, ends, there's a small crack in the alley cement. Why not use quick-dry cement and pour the ramp out to there? To satisfy the "overall appearance" just do it for both garages to match. :D
It won't be totally permanent just because the quick-dry won't bond properly to the cement below, but it should last for a decent amount of time. (I've done patch jobs on my driveway that lasted 3-5 years)

looks like water would have to pass thru anyways so this solves that also
| Thanks for all the above recommendations guys! Thinking about getting one of those thin steel diamond plates and bolting it down with some bags of sand underneath to form a tiny bridge. And yes water does need to flow past the dip in the ground (shit gets crazy when it rains hard). Quote:

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but that driveway doesn't look that bad. The angle you are coming at it however,:heckno:. Costco used to have those rubber mats too that are about an inch thick that are specifically for steep curbs. Back when I lived in edmonton we used those.
| I was able to get out barely by going out at a FULL 45 deg. angle (and this is still before completely lowering the car as I haven't lowered the front yet), but the problem is usually there is another car parked on the other garage spot so I can never really bring the car out at full angle is well. Those costco matts sound very interesting but I went today and nobody working there has heard of such thing :(
Also thanks to all the kind words and pm's from everyone about the car haha didn't think it would attract that much attention xD |
