Mr. Z.

hey guys, i really want to get my O2 sensor in today....had everything set up for after work, but it's raining....I'm an unfortunate dude and don't have a garage....my only option is to use my grandmothers....but the incline to get in is very steep....so, what would be suitable to use for a ramp ? I want something safe. I was thinking jsut gettn some planks of wood...but it's wood, I dunno...any suggestions would be great, thnx

I took the easy way out and bought a set of 8,000 lb capacity plastic ramps for lowered cars. I still need to drive the front tires up on 2x12's to clear the front spoiler.
I would worry about something thrown together slipping, if this happens your ribcage will prevent the bottom of the car from being damaged if it drops.

I don't think he's referring to actually jacking the car up, but to get it up the driveway and into the garage, am I correct? I'm not sure if wood would work, but I'm sure someone here has to have had experience with something similar =)

Can you back the car up the driveway??

Mr. Z.

If it is supported in the middle and not too long 2X12s should work. The harder the wood the better.

how much clearance do you think you'll need?

How about some patio blocks placed at the bottom of the driveway to make less of an angle?
