Getting 06 Z into driveway.
Does anyone know of any type of ramps to use to get over the curb at the end of my driveway? The curbs in my neighborhood are rounded and are the same through out , even at the entery to my driveway. Anyone else with a similar problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

On friday I dropped a friend off and ended up scraping the underside a bit over this bumb which I undercompensated for. On the way back I made sure I entered at an angle. Damn speed bumps! anyways, point being angled entrances are the way to go. Now if your car is modified (ie. lowered + aftermarket bumberlips) then thats another story 'cause even if you entered angled, you may not necessarily be safe.

I think I know what kind of ramp/curb you're talking about. I vote for making your own ramp or possibly just using sandbags.
You can easily build a ramp using some sheets of plywood, cutting them to various decreasing sizes, stacking them with the largest sheets on the bottom and nailing them together. A project like this should cost no more than $15 at the hardware store.

Curb Ramps
I first found them at eco-flex.com and they're called e-z drive curb ramps. They are located in Canada and it took them a week just to get back to me with a shiping cost. J and K curb ramps get they're ramps from eco-flex and cost less for shipping. Just go to j and k curb ramps .com . There are pics at both sites.
