Parking at a steep angle.....Problems>?
I have a friend with a steep drive way.
The driveway is too narrow for me to get the Vette up to the back.
We talked about backing it into his driveway and parking it there.
It is about 20-30 degrees angle.
Is there any danger in doing so? With the fluids sitting where they are if parked that way over night?

As far as the angle itself, I've seen vettes on the transporter trailers that look to be at a similar angle so it must be OK regarding fluids etc.--but I agree that scraping the air dam etc might be the bigger issue here.

I would have to move if I had this type of angle. I agree with the others and do not belive fluid settling would pose a problem, if you were low on fuel you may have a problem starting it though.
