It just occured to me that maybe the whole garage floor is sloped like that. That would solve the entry problem, but would make getting in and out tough.......

When I bought my house, looking at the angle of the driveway never even occured to me.

Now I own a vette and it'll be one of the first things I look at in my next home. Funny how these things change your priorities.

WTF would buy some chit like that. Looks like what they do out here in Cali, build on any terrain, anywhere, and charge half a mill for it. Fn developer should be taken to the wood shed for a beatin.

Someone restore my faith, that has to be a photochop.

My girlfriends sister has a driveway like that. You need a feakin ski lift to get up it in the winter months. I haven't taking the Vette over there yet but if I do then I will have to park in the street.

Maybe it's a community for 4 wheel truck owners only? That's freakin' ridiculous....

There are a lot of driveways around here that are almost that bad. If a Corvette owners lives at one of those houses, bet the car is a lot shorter due to the scraping.

I've seen some driveways just like that in the phoenix area.. houses built on the side of a mountain. A previous landlord of mine lived in an area like that.. was a PITA any time I had to go by his place.
