That's right. I was concerned with the car halfway into the garage. There is an angle change between the driveway and the garage floor. I wanted to make sure that angle change was small enough so nothing would hit at the edge of the garage floor.

The forms are set now and it turns out the angle change is much less severe than I thought it would be, and there will be plenty of clearance under the car.
