Oh my, you dont need an incline or a driveway. You're scraping as is. If I were to show this picture to my insurance agent, she'll probably write me a check.

This is what I had to do to get my CL in and out of the garage when I had it and lived at my parents' place.


I wish I had pictures from the time the car got stuck trying to get out without the huge chain of bricks. The car was decently low and I was using these 15" wheels for some time before I got it aligned.

I'm pretty much looking for another aluminum front crossmember and J pipe as mine are wearing out. Only been dumped for about 3 years. Not gonna be fun to replace those parts but to me its not worth lifting the car up. HAH!
