Her favorite shoes are also on!

So you didn't manage to talk to the guy across the road about using his nice flat driveway?

To be honest I didn’t want to bother both of them. Everyday they have 2-3 cars. Was a little worried but now I am very OK to do my basic maintenance here.

My driveway has a much steeper incline that yours,
I have kept 2 pieces of good size 1/4 cut logs just to block any movement when doing seasonal tire changes,
seems to have worked for past 20 years as I can still write about it.
Any serious under car work I do in my very narrow garage.

The incline driveways get you quite paranoid and im always rechecking if I enabled the Parking brake when the car is running before I get out…

If you have that kind space, why not go with ramps?

[WNDSRFR]

My driveway has the same incline angle as my ramps. So with the car facing downhill on the ramps, it's level to do oil change.

Those nifty jack stands probably help too. I've never seen a style with those kinds of feet.

I don't recommend ramps. The few I've tried using loved shooting out at random times during the loading/ unloading process. On vehicles with ample ground clearance

A jack and stands is slower but more predictable.

Wheel chocks are critical for safety, especially on a slope.

Shined her up and put on her new summer shoes.

Got P3 in my time attack class last saturday. Not bad I guess considering it was my first time at this track and the rest of competitors were running exclusively tarmac rally tires (Michelin M20s, Pirelli RKs, Z205s etc) while I was on two year old worn R888Rs.

Drove it to work, threw a P0300 code. 40k on the stock coil packs, 30k on the NGK race plugs. Looks like it is time to replace packs and plugs.

That’s exactly what I did. Using chocks and carefully getting the car on stands. Since I have the fumoto valve now, I will be able to quickly do the change at work . I couldn’t carry the jack but have the Cusco low ramps and can use them for quick oil changes.

Anyway, suggestions I got last time from all of you guys helped me a lot for the oil and tire change with the slope we have.

Those Esco stands are pretty sweet! I've been threatening to get a pair but I already have three sets of perfectly good uncool ones.

parked it in the back 40(') to make space in the garage to work on changing up my garage toolbox to a work toolbox. turns out it'll fit entirely behind the garage, but then it freaks me out thinking someone lifted it over the fence.
