Right ... what the hell kind of driveway is that! Even a regular car isn't going to be able to scale that. Even if you did, you'd need a rope tied to the front door since it would feel like climbing a mountain.

That driveway picture is located in Fayetteville, AR. I lived two blocks over and saw them building these houses. It is actually steeper than it looks. I had a hard time getting my Toyota Land Cruiser up one of these when they were being built, just for fun. It was like riding in a rocket ship. You cannot even see the garage, only the top of the house. When they eventually had people move in, they put couches and TV's in there because no one dared to drive a car up there, and then try to stop before crashing through the back wall. The garages were not that deep. Realtors kept scraping the sidewalk trying to back down the driveway. It was hard to walk down and I never even tried when wet or snowy. I moved from there shortly after, but I heard they fixed them somewhat because the city made them. Haven't been back since.
