Default Car has arrived

Hey guys, I finally got my car. It's a BEAUTY! SOOOOOOOOOO much fun driving it! However I've ran into a problem already. My sidewalk to my driveway has very steep incline. Does anyone know where I can get anything like a board to place it so I can get on my driveway without scratching the front lip all the time?

Thanks!

I have to take my driveway at about a 45 degree angle.

You don't need a board, just go up at an angle if you can and you can take very high curbs. Even when lowered with a lip you can take those curbs at an angle.

Also, I think having a board is against city by-law as well.

Yeah I can only not scratch if I go at exactly 45 degrees. But any miss I scratch. I'm trying to locate those curb things. Do you know what they are called or where to buy it?

congrats on finally getting the car!!!

you should really just learn how to drive up steep inclines.... they are ev erywhere including parking lots... just drive up to it parallel and then go up at it at a angle.... you will get a hang of it

unless your curb is some crazy a$$ curb which is humongus!

Cool

I FINALLY have registered the car and insured it. There was a lot of problems with crappy customs losing my papers. But all's done and I'm on the road LEGALLY! So I'll post some pictures!

I didn't get new pics because the car is still quite dirty so I'll post some pics from when I picked up the car.
