The issue is the top.

With the bottom, you can go sideways, this lifts the center of your car so it does not bottom out/scrape.

On the top, no matter how sideways you go, the center of your car will not lift away from the ground. It will do the opposite, it will get closer to it, and will 100% contact it. Your car technically will become a seesaw on the top of that ramp.

So you were putting us on about that being the driveway to your apartment. Those look like houses, but who'd be stupid enough to buy a house with a driveway like that?

Seriously though, that ramp is ridiculous. It looks like it belongs in the X-Games.

Well dam. I haven't even attempted it yet with my car. I guess I have no choice but to scratch the **** outta my car. I'm probably going to raise my car slightly so there's a tiny gap between the tire and the fender. Hopefully it won't cause too many problems.
