Funny thing happened...
So I finally get home last night, ready to park my brand new nismo in the garage. My driveway is like at a 45 degree angle pretty much. Everyone scraps in it but being me I have learned not to. I knew the 370 was low but was like nah I got this. So my buddy gets out and tries to guide me in without scraping. I get the driver side tire on the driveway and the bumper is already touching the driveway. There is no way it will go up without serious damage. So I am forced to park my beautiful car on the freakin street! O man was I pissed. Now I wake up and must figure out something as this is just not going to work. Honestly plan on moving at this point it isn't worth it lol. O boy.

Nice. Steel plates are also available, but this looks easy.

I love mine and I thought I would have to bolt them down. Turns out, they are too heavy and cumbersome to easily steal.

Yeah, I originally planned to bolt them down but they are:
1) too heavy and cumbersome to steal 2) would get owned by the snow plows once winter comes anyway So I just leave them there and move them if it snows. My Altima can make it in and out the driveway no problem without scraping so its a non issue in the winter.

The two pics posted above have driveways which are not steep at all. At stock height the Nismo can easily make those if you line up sideways and get one tire on at a time slowly. You may have to go on the lawn some in that one pic, but it can definitely be accomplished with either none or very minimal scrape.
YOU GOT THAT! Last edited by whoady4shoady; 08-09-2012 at 01:20 PM. |
