Angry someone come jack hammer my driveway

this is the second time my driveway has broken my rear bumper .. it's too steep to get in because my car scrapes every time... i have been parking on the sidewalk, but its illegal to park on the sidewalk overnight and i got a warning two days ago. anyways.. it ended up pulling the right rear dirt guard (or whatever) and popped the bumper out of that corner, bent the bumper, and it looks like the paint is cracked. anyways this is the second time this has happened, this time doesn't look as bad, but the paint looks cracked, so it will probably cost more to fix .. any ideas? new bumper haha.. i dont think any rear bumpers look good w/o an aggressive kit... thats my rant, you dont have to listen haha

I feel you man.. I hate my ****ing driveway... You have enter at an angle and exit with the wheels turned all the way and backing out real slow otherwise you'll scrape the bumper.

I can't even imagine what would happen if you pulled straight out of my driveway.

get a couple of 2x12s, block the center w a brick or two to soften up the grade. You'll just have to put them up after you pull in & out. It's how I get mine on the allignment machine. Good luck.

you don't have to do it 4-6 times a day. just do it at night when you're not allowed to park on the street. for every other time just park on the street.

^ what i dont understand is why they built the driveway at an angle from the house??? it really puzzles me.. its way too steep so I guess the previous owners didn't own a car? anyways.. no more driveway for me for a little while.. maybe i'll get a ticket to top it all off.

If your bottoming out at the very end of your driveway, Just go to Home Depot/lowes and pick up a couple pail/bags of driveway patch....you know the black rock/pebble tar stuff for repairing driveways, and lay down a layer to ease the incline.......just pack the $hit down, and it should stay for a while.......

Elayman you live in CA? I'm just wondering because if you live around PA maybe I could check it out and come up with ideas. But it says you live in CA. I just want to double check. Good luck man!

how low are you dropped?


with stock rear you got to have some serious skills to scrape the driveway. Or your driveway got to be vertical.
