Hi guys,

I'm eager to install a Turbo front bumper on my C2, but have this rather steep sloped driveway with a knick at the bottom. Anybody any idea on how to overcome this obstacle ?

Yea ..move
Ok on a serious note, I have a steap driveway like that as well, I back in and scrap all the time, I just use a skit plate..onece a year i change it

Mine isn't as bad as that but still raked. I go at an angle both directions to prevent scraping.

skid plate

hmmm, you could try smoothing it out to make it less dramatic - this involves a wheelbarrow and a few bags of cement, and one (preferably cold) afternoon

Naw I own a steel company, I get my guys to make one when needed

i remember seeing that picture awhile back.. i can't quite understand the logic in elevating a house that much? maybe for the view?

avoid paying for retaining walls, etc etc.... behind the house, lack of a backyard, etc

Drainage?

Man, when it rains, those driveways are going to be waterfalls! They are going to wear out their break pads in one year just backing out of the garage.

Personally, I would build a couple of V-shaped wedges out of treated pine to ease the transition between the old and new concrete. Wouldn't cost more than 30 - 40 bucks and would take only a couple of hours to complete.

I've seen same V-shaped devices Tim is talking about made of hard rubber. Same concept as the wood but probably cost more and I have no idea where to get them. Might Google for something like that if you're interested.

redline it in first into the garage and you will then say to your self " what scraping noise?"
