i hear yah man... my area has those rounded curbs that has no dips for drive ways. nice that you will never curb your wheels but sucks becuase of the bump that is your drive way

 

I don't think I have street sweepers. Been here for two years and haven't had a day where cars had to be parked somewhere else.

you need a permit for that =\

I don't want to get caught ridin' dirty. Especially if its in front of my own house lol.

 

yea i vouch for that giant dip in his driveway, i see him running for his 2 pieces on wood then laying them down every time i come by. Only thing i can think of is customizing a ramp out of wood that fits your driveway, and has enough strength to withstand the weight of your car, and that you wouldn't have to move it back and fourth....if you need help just let me know, i had too help make a similar ramp for my friend once for the same reason

make a hallow one with metal and weld it.

 

ive also seen Al do this a number of times. my car barely makes it over with ramps when i come over, now with the lip, i dont think mine will make it over lol

They may not make the cars move or anything. I know in saratoga they just sweep around the parked cars. I think you should be fine puttin something from the driveway to the street, as long as theres something for the water to pass through.

 

get some plates of steel that can only be moved with a little crane on a truck. and have them delivered and set down, i'm sure you could do it for $50 plus cost of steel plates.

or do the ashphalt thing with a pipe under it and make it look clean, if they dont street clean then no one will be there to complain about it as long as your crappy neighbors dont see you do it

 

I was lookin for those metal plates. I've seen a couple of driveways here in downtown with them. I Just gotta try and source some.

 

i too have this dip on my driveway prolly not as bad as yours but its paint on the ***..

i was close once getting some sledge hammer and call out bunch of my homies and start hammer the ****ing sidewalk down. hahahahahaha

 

My car = 0
Al's driveway = 1

Anyways, hope you find a reasonable solution!

 

hey al, can I see your set-up of your ramp? I need to build a ramp myself too!

 

like when a road is underconstruction, at night they put out those 1" thick plates of steel with a crane.

Thats what you need. But instead of being 4'x8' 500 lbs you could do 4'x1' or whatever. Nobody would move them or bother to steal them either.



Theres gotta be a plaace in SJ for steel. Only place i know of is Alan Steel of 101 Redwood City i think

 

I know there some in downtown near some industrial place. I might have to take a trip with my pick up truck.

 

I'll let you see it when I actually have a real setup. As of right know I'm using some wood my friend took from his construction site. They are 2x12s meant for framing homes. I might ask him to get me a couple more pieces so I can just put em together to make a 2 2x24s.

Maybe put something like at the ends to make it cleaner.

 

i cut then shaved the ends on the 2x6's myself instead of buying those.


Are u planning to pull the ramps back into the house/garage when u are done driving in and out?
