OT: Not a Cobra Friendly design
Ok, Swiped from Club Chopper, just could not let you guys miss out on this slight design flaw:
Must have been built for a Jeep CJ7 collector.

Perfect for bump starting those Harleys when the starters give up.
You did say you found this on the Chopper forum?

ok, surely this was put together as a digital gag with Photoshop or something, right? No builder or bank would do this. I just can't believe this is real. If it is real, it is death waiting to happen.
Not really a home, right??? Even army tactical vehicles are only tested to a 60 percent incline.

Hal,
I had the same thought about the photographs as you did. Pulled them down and analyzed them on a high graphical Unix box (an old SGI R5K Indy and a Sony GDM-2120 monitor)...I could not find anything in the pixelation to show that this is nothing but the real deal.

Bill,
I wish I had a drive like that when I lived up north. You could throw away your snow shovel.  Hell, I had to wait until I moved to Cape Coral.

Maybe the homeowner is a diehard NASCAR fan, and wants to feel like his house is on top of Turn 4 at Bristol....

Years ago a friend of mine was renting a house that had a driveway like that but about half the width and trice as long. The owners re did the driveway in asphalt and on a wet day i could only get about halfway up without wheelspinning and heading towards the side fence.
Reversing back down again was tense.
Cheers

When I lived in Melbourne (Australia) we lived in a suburb called Eltham and the driveway in at our house was very steep, close to the one pictured but rounded at top and bottom.
Mum had a morris 1100 as her drive car and one day after shopping she forgot to pull on the hand brake, luckily the driveway was on about a 30 degree angle to the house (had to turn right as you reached the garage) after recieving a phone call from friends accross the road we went to the garage to find no car, looking down the driveway there was the little morris on its roof after clipping the embankment on its way down.
Poor mum got a hard time about writeing off here car in the driveway.
