Default Driveway entry/exit problems in AZ?

Hey all Arizona peeps. I just purchased a home in Tucson and I have been out here a lot for I have family here and it seems that almost every driveway out here including my new place has the ramp "step-up" into the homes driveway. My car hasn't arrived yet from Italy where I was stationed so I don't know yet if this is going to be an issue. Now I am lowered on swift springs and I am about to install my Fast Intensions exhuast which will give me an even lower ground clearence. My question is does anyone have problems getting into and out of their driveways? From the looks of it I think I am going to have to build a step up ramp to put down everytime I come/go from the house which is going to be a HUGE pain! I really want to get permission to shave the ramp-up down a little but I know how picky the HOA people can be and who knows it might not even be them, maybe the city of Tucson. AHHHHHH, anyway can I get some of your thoughts.

Thanks a ton,

Shane

Tucson is pretty bad with their roads. Better watch those pot holes

Check out "Birdjit" ramps. Saw them @ SEMA a few years ago and they said that they've heard of NO complaints from HOAs about using their product.

If you take them at the right angle, it won't be so bad. And don't worry about the FI exhaust, as much as people whine, as long as you don't fly over the bump, you'll never scrape. I've had mine on a year now and never scraped them once.

Those ramps Vivid linked look pretty sweet. Now you just need to make sure there's no punk kids that might take them...
