HAHAHA that's when you know you're slammed. lmao

Are the 02-03 lips more durable/flexible than the 99-01? cause when I scrape on my 01, it looks like I scratched plastic on the cement and all this debris on the lip shows up

^ lol .. exactly that.

its a good thing you don't have wider wheels.. you'd have unintentional flared out portion of the fenders by now.. you need to leave driveway with wheels straight, more angle...

Haha this is so true. When I first started to drive my car slammed, I always thought that turning the wheel going down the ramp would be an angle, but it actually wasn't... it was just like going straight down.

What I would do in your situation is... When coming into the driveway, go in straight and don't back in. That way when you're coming out of the driveway, you'll have more angle on the front of the car.

you have a lot of room to your passenger side... stick close to it.. right before entering the downward incline start turning to left

why do you need to back in? Going in straight would be easiest I would think. Unless your driveway is really that damn small lol

I looked at the video again... Can you turn towards the electrical pole or is that a sidewalk there?

You could make a small ramp with some 2x6 or 2x4 and some 3/4" plywood. That should work.

you're not fully taking advantage of the width of the driveway. you're still almost perpendicular to the street still.
