Default How do you guys with the splitters deal with steep driveways?

I've realized that the front of my house may be steep enough to rule out many of the cars I want. What can be done with the use of wood blocks or ramps, and do any of you guys actually use stuff like this?

This problem would, for instance, completely rule out a GT3. The front of my house is pretty steep...<ul><li><a href="http://www.discountramps.com/auto_ramps.htm">ramps</a></li></ul>

Default approach the driveway at an angle with one wheel at a time, but its only a matter of time before you

rip that thing off, not matter how careful you are.

Default You have to be constantly aware of things..

Doing things at angles helps too. I have more problems with rock chips. My splitter needs to be recoated.

Default made some ramps for my driveway... bit of a PITA but OK since I only drive it once in a blue moon

sorry only pic i have. i bought some plywood used for concrete formwork - and screwed in some wooden blocks underneath &amp; a couple of handles on the side so i can quickly move them onto and off the driveway as needed.

...i also put in some metal screws underneath my spoiler... so they wear out instead of it.
