Trust me, I'm extremely pissed that I'm moving into the place. We've tried to find another place but since it is a college town (and an expensive one at that) theres not many places that are in our price range. Its a college situation where roommates dont care much for a garage and rather pay as cheap as possible.

Roommates dont give a stink about their car!

One of my buddies just actually curbed his wheels the other day and just shrugged

They did however all agree to give me the driveway (which fits two)

Im not down to park my car on the street at night and have someone side swipe it! (Street that we live on has a really sharp turn).

I feel for you man. Wife and I moved into a house and we actually tested the driveway with my car before moving in. She thought I was crazy. I hated having the car out on the street the first few nights we were there. Similar problem, but the hump was reversed where you had to go up and then down fairly sharp. The only solution I had was to undo the springs in the front to stock and still attack the driveway diagonal or the cats would scrape.

update, spent almsot 200 dollars on wood, a saw, and screws

still barely make it up the driveway, you can only park on 1 side of the street and behind my driveway needs to be clear in order to make it up (someone usually parks there) but i can make it up the driveway now

ill snap a picture if anyone wants to see and its a daily workout to lift those darn heavy wood pieces


each time driving up and down im so scared im not driving up straight and its gonna collapse on me
