BINGO!!! I just had an Idea!!!

Buy a Trailer with ramps,



that will go over everything.

Put in an Electric Wench System in the garage and up near the curb.

Park the Z on the Trailer and Hoist it down in to the garage each night!

LOL......this is one of the best posts I have ever seen in my life.

Just make the seller fix it, and while he is at it get them to put a drain in the garage so you can was the z inside the garage.

Best thing to do is to have a custom wooden ramp built with the bottom of the ramp having the same dimensions as the exit and entrance point of the slope. Then everytime you need to get out or in, just place those on the exit/entry points and the Z should be able to get up and down the slope with no probs. NOTE: the top of the ramp should be rounded or else you are fuucked!

Sorry for the quick photoshop, but you should get the point.. the black things are the wooden ramps... PROBLEM SOLVED!! I take money through paypal if you ever wanna pay me for my help

They've just engaged an engineer who supposedly does this sort of thing all the time. They're going to rip out the driveway tomorrow and redo it early next week.

I'll see if I can grab and pictures and/or measurements before then - I don't actually live near the new property (which is one of the reasons I'm moving there!), so it's hard to just swing by for this sort of thing =)
This is an awesome thread...all i gotta say is its a good thing you didn't close before checking this out...outside of getting an air suspension I dont see any way around getting the pavement shaved to enable your Z to make it in the garage.

In all honest, check out the praxis air system. Its like airbag coilovers, and im pretty sure they can lift up and down your car AT YOUR WILL. DEF check it out, its heavy but PERF for what you need I think.

Just get an air ride suspension It will give you the performance and you will be able to rise the z up 3-4 inches when you get home. You will have a small compressor and four air struts. This is the only option you have for the z. All of the rest will require you to get out of the car every time you pull into you drive way. A freind of mine has this on his m35 and it works great.
