should have tried it in reverse... normally that's your lowest gear

 

also, i couldnt go fast because there were alot of blind corners and the garage was tight....interesting note about doing it in reverse

 

it's funny, my dad told me some story a while back about owning some super tiny car euro car in the 60's where the only way he could get out of some parking ramps was to throw 'er in reverse and gun it!

 

i dont understand how any of this is possible in 1st gear

 

ooo. thats pretty funny if u ask me. e brake on?

 

haha i second the reverse idea.

 

30-40 degree incline is insane.

 

yeah it was pretty steep, if a car was coming down I wouldnt have seen it until it was too late.

Id love to make fun of you and tell you that you may be retarded. BUT, the same thing happen to me!!!! hahaha I went up to the top of a garage and couldnt get back down! I had to back down all the ramps to get out. And here is the proof!
I still had another foot till the bottom of this ramp, and the bumper is sitting on the ground. So i had to back up and go down in reverse. lol good times! NOT
* C-west gone, IX front bumper now in its place.*

 

i guess you guys are trying to do this from a dead stop? You'll need to slip the clutch a decent amount if your doing it from a dead stop or get a decent roll on. Do I need to post up some driving lessons for my buddies on evoM here?

 

^ Never ever had this problem before.

 

haha... I almost had the same problem with 3 passengers. I couldn't go at the hill with any speed because the front lip would have been destroyed. The hill into the parking deck was only about 15 feet long but man was it steep.

I BARELY made it.

Oh well its a torqueless wonder under 3k.

 

I'm pretty sure the OP couldn't get *up* the incline because of the lack of low-end torque, not because his lip was scraping like your issue.

 

I think they could really use the lessons.
