High driveway
- Thread starter SPTNSX
- Start date
I scrape a little bit almost every time I enter/exit my driveway, been doing it for 7 years now. The hell of it is, there is a *perfect* angle where it doesn't scrape. It's just so small that I only hit it once every 10 times or so. Every other time, scrape. 
Reminds me, it's about time to order a new front spoiler.

yeah I agree with Skippy, if you hit the car at a small angle you will never hit.
if you steer the car straight on you will scrap every time. or to fast has the same effect.

I'd assume the OP knows how to tackle a steep driveway at an angle already, fairly common knowledge for anyone that drives a sportscar, no?
There are many places even driving at an angle won't prevent scraping, those evil v-shaped driveways are the worst. My solution is the VRH System from Ravi.

never assume a person knows the basics.
As a computer consultant I know this all to well.

Or, if you want to go cheap:
Buy a 6 foot length of 2x8. Cut a 45 degree angle the full length on both edges. Works great as a permanent solution on sight. You can even spray it the color of the curb or driveway.
To make one portable would be you cut it in half. Then you will have 2 3' pieces to carry with you at all times.

go reallll slow,so slow you're barely moving
I just fill up that "canyon-of-a-gap" with cement at night (so no one sees me) and through some dirt on the top to "age" the cement so that it looks like it's "been" there for decades.
no issues so far. :biggrin:

Just keep the car in the garage. That way it won't scrap and you won't put miles on it.

My neighbor did this... First heavy rain, it floated down the road!
See if the city will provide a driveway ramp instead of the curb. Here, you can get the city to replace the existing curb with a level driveway entrance, and you pay for it over 20 years on your taxes.

I appreciated, but I have angled every time and I still scrap sometimes. Imagine my car lowered even more, I'll scrape all the time 100% hahahah
I did angled, trust

I've seen something like that, but my driveway is steeper and the entrance is alot shorter. That's why its so hard to angle up and down without scrapping
HAHAHA that's gangsta! Wish I could do that; Huntington Beach is really anal about their streets and you can't do anything to it unless you ask for a permit....
Easiest way not to scrape? Give your NSX to me and I'll lend you my Miata which you can ramp up your driveway at WOT without issue :biggrin:
