You might have to angle it so you don't scrape... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MattR · 2006-10-04, 07:52 AM

What the hell?

That's a terrible idea.

Joeyy · 2006-10-04, 08:26 AM

If you lived in Truckee with that you would need a winch.

ScottyS · 2006-10-04, 08:26 AM

I'll be that lifted H2 gets up there --- too bad it won't fit through the door.

The kids will love it come winter, though.

Because people assume these pictures are local even though there's no red dirt or trees like that around Reno/Tahoe, and the license plates aren't CA or NV.

MattR · 2006-10-04, 08:34 AM

I assume that is in the dirty south somewhere. Braselton, GA is my guess.

MattR · 2006-10-04, 08:35 AM

Maybe even Michigan

What retarded engineer approved that shit? I don't like going as high as 15% on a driveway, and that higher one looks close to 30%. :wtf:

It's not really "too steep", it's that the approach angle is so fucked up. My old neighborhood had some driveways that bad, except they were curved so they'd ramp up to the grade and roll off to the garage.

They were bad-ass for racing the soapbox derby cars down.

qksubi · 2006-10-04, 08:51 AM

OMG!! WTF!! I hope they give a free set of parking blocks with every house!!

qksubi · 2006-10-04, 08:53 AM

First, there was Creation.

Then a little later, there was the Internet.

Then like 5 seconds later, these pictures were on the Internet.

I'm guessing JC saw them somewhere on the Internet and decided to share them with those of us who haven't seen 'em yet.

From a local forum. I have no idea where they are from.

That's a little less "smarmy" and a little more "dickwad" than my nose picking comments.

You can't have bad approach angles if your driveway isn't too steep.

MattR · 2006-10-04, 09:42 AM

Your driveway will be too steep if you have bad approach angles.

You can have a dip at the bottom.

NevadaSTi · 2006-10-04, 10:24 AM

I've seen those a couple years ago, everyone at the engineering firm I worked for had a good laugh about them.
