Since the curb ramps could be intrusive on to a public, heavily used sidewalk, they all seem to present a tripping/insurance problem. During the test we were able to make it up and down the driveway without scraping if...I came to a complete stop when the wheels reached the point of starting to come up the driveway and I was at a precise angle. Although it could be done, there was no room for error, or snow and ice. Put as little as 1/2 inch of snow on the slope and you are guaranteed to slide down the last 2 feet, basically uncontrolled. The front lip of my WRX can attest to the lasting effects.
In a few months, I am going to look into a redesign of the slope. If I get it fixed, I am just hoping that at that time the local Subaru General Manager gives me the same offer..."Take it home for the weekend!"
