I imagine you are talking about my driveway right.
Baer - after my drop on Tanabe springs and the new Nismo nose, I'm scraping really bad entering/exiting my drive. Part of the problem is related to some damage to the edge of the street when the developer poured the driveway.

I live in a four unit townhouse, and found out at Christmas that two of the other owners are scraping their cars (SL and IS350). Everyone else drives SUVs.

Anyway, one of the neighbors is a contractor and came up with the idea of having an iron driveway grate built. We're basically building a shallow bridge to span the drop between the street and driveway.

We don't have a price yet, but my neigbor swears it will be less than $500 in total. He's getting quotes from fabricators that build entrance gates. We laid out the design this afternoon.

Might be worth checking into. Good luck.

First day back home or with Internet Since 12/22/11. I sent 7 days in Puerto Vallarta, and then spent 3 days including NYE in Vegas. The stay in Vegas was pretty much free as a really good budy of mine lives on the Strip in City Center. I took the Z out to grab lunch and also a second time to run some errands. I installed the Simota fuel guage overlay and decided that I did not like the look overall so I took it off. Then to top off my Z day I purchased a 40th car cover since my used 40th did not come with one.

Edit: New top off to my Z day...bought a set of 40th floor mats since mine came with normal ones rather than the 40th mats. I will keep using the normal Z mats as I like them better but wanted a set of 4th's to have in case of sale or perhaps put in on occassion.
