Replacing driveway because 488 is too low - Ideas?

Ah the saga continues…..

 

YES!

Eric, Im sorry it not worked out for you but i´ve really missed this thread!

 

No good intention goes unpunished. Humbling, isn't it?

 

I'll gladly forego WOKE sports this fall for this. I'll be following closely.

 

If you want to move to florida, just do it. No need to shape your driveway like that.... and you misplaced lake Okeechobee. A little higher and to the right. Thanks, I'll be here all week.

 

Just a joke because your diagram is shaped like the state of Florida.

 

Sounds funny but translation required please.

My driveway issue isn't anywhere as Complex as Eric's, but I spent too much time trying to find a solution that was not permanent and expensive and reproducible and wanted to share it with you guys in case anyone might be having a similar issue.

No matter which way I tackled my driveway (and yes I have a lifter...which obviously makes it worse in this scenario) I was lucky to spare scrapping my rear Carbon diffuser with about 1/4-1/2 to spare. I was looking for a solution where I wouldn't have to worry about backing out and entering my driveway every time and just clearing it within 1/4 inch or worse scrapping it.

These picture's don't do it justice and it's not at the lowest point, but I have to have my lifter up to clear the front end of my driveway which has a slope and than immediately have to drop it to clear this "V" ditch as I am backing out.

I tried numerous "curb" ramps and none of them worked. I tried these heavy duty "wheel chair" ramps that are rated to 2200lbs++ and they are more than adequate to handle the load of my F8.

I tried several sizes and came up with the right ratio of a 2x16 inch ramp on the house side and 2.5x16 inch ramp on the street side; it now gives me about 2.5 inches of clearance and it doesn't matter which angle I come in at.

It takes me couple minutes to put them out and I remove them when I park the car back in the garage. These are very inexpensive and available on Amazon and gives you a nice peace of mind not worrying about the car when you haven't even left your driveway.

Cheers!

Is that FJ? Eric I didn't like you just now, I don't care what every single person, without exception, says about you around here you're good in my book!

 

Oh but the saga will continue some how some way!

 

Then what's the Ferrari???

 

The Ferrari is no longer any fun after the full Civic conversion.
