Steep Driveway?
We are in the process of buying a house that has a pretty steep driveway. I was wondering if anyone else has any issue or problems or has drive up a pretty steep driveway. We are probably around 25 degrees.

Humm i'm going to have to try and an angle. I can always part it on the street but I keep seeing plenty of posts with evos missing things like seats, or the whole car, that get parked in public view.

@evokid - you would need a bit more room to extend it to decrease the angle. We bought the house in our development with the least angle on our driveway and it also ended up having the best view. Others park their cars on the street and while I doubt they'd get broken into it makes the neighborhood look like crap with cars everywhere.

Its steep defiantly and it has a little bump right before the driveway from a small drain ditch that runs under it. Its pretty wide so at least comming up and an angle might be ok, im still afraid of destroying the bumper or worse.

Go in at an angle and back out of the driveway at an angle.. its not that hard.. My cars are always low with cf front lips and i have no issues.. occasionally you might scrape a lil, but that is it..
