Wow. You would have to be stupid to build a house with a driveway like that and even more stupid to actually buy one.

Wow. You could basically slide down your driveway. You should talk to the person in charge of building the condos lol. That's a hell of a driveway.

Wow, how can ANY normal car get up that driveway? If it gets icy over night, you're screwed.

All joking aside... if you are renting this condo, you need to work with your landlord and find some kind of resolution. If you bought it... you need to call the city and see if they can offer any assistance. Or just do it yourself and hope nobody pays any attention to you. Rent a grinder and buy some quikcrete. Every once in a while, the city comes through and grinds concrete slabs down to make them flush again, usually from tree roots raising the concrete up. Use that machine on the crest. You're gonna want to take it down 6 inches to a foot. At the base, slap a bunch of quikcrete down to smooth out the transition. It'll look like *** but hey, you get to keep the Z.

I actually have the same prob...trailer ramps modded w/ rollers and stoppers on the bottom is the only way...cost about 600. - Otherwise the Airsus for the z is a option - but you have t make room for the compressor and such..about 3500 installed - was actually thinking of ditching my tien edfc's for the airsus since its more of a daily driver than a track car now but the only downside is your coilovers can't bee to beefy or the air cylinders won't fit properly...

I have a solution to your problem that is somewhat "feasible". Install two long metal tracks, like those that you would use to drive onto a trailer, etc. Have one end hinged where the driveway meets the sidewalk, have the other end up all the way at the garage entrance. Heres the fun part, have hydraulics attached at the point where the driveway meets the garage level. You pull onto the tracks with the hydraulics raised, then lower the hydraulics and your car and pull into the garage.
