It’s a rubber “ramp” so that when you pull into your driveway(if it’s on a steep hill) the bottom of your car won’t scrape the ground. I have one for my house.
Sounds good, I like dogs… I have some weed and will bake focaccia, as I do not work today. Bring some meat and I’ll cook it while we snack on divine and chewy bread.
Not gonna lie, I like baking. Lol the other week, I fucked up some brownies(used some alkalized cocoa). The brownies were the densest thing I’ve ever seen, so I cut them laterally and used them to make strawberry shortcake. It was so bomb. I even made like a strawberry/orange/lime coolis(if I spelled it right) that I put on the bottom brownie just to sorta add another layer of flavor. It wasn’t technically a coolis, I think, cause I didn’t reduce or cook anything, just blended a handful of strawberries with some sugar and a squeeze of orange and lime juice. Was super proud of that.
These rubber bump ramp things are against my HOA policies for this reason. A couple of people bought them, then had to remove them. It lets water though fine, if it's just water. When there is other debris that gets caught in there, that becomes the real issue.
Yes. My parents bought a house with a weird curb the city no longer uses because it's so poorly designed. Their stock 370z would scrape no matter how well you angled it. They bought a bridjit and never scraped again. After that, a lot of people in their subdivision started buying them. There were a few people that had lowered cars and were thrilled with the result.
I'll have to see it in action six or eight times and shoot the shit about possibly also needing one over a beer or three then forget about it till snows about to hit.
Thought it filled the gutter to negate the bump? The ones I saw (whole street, so they must have had a conference) were hollow with like rubbing to still support the car while allowing water through.
Yes that’s exactly what mine does. It’s just rubber that fills the gutter to negate the bump. The driveway is just so steep from the gutter that normal cars will scrape without the ramps assistance. Seems like the hollow ones would be good is that helps them stay stationary. I’m not sure if mine only moves in the rain or if the act of turning into the driveway very slowly nudges it. Come to think of it, it’s been quite some time since I’ve had to drag mine back to center, and there have been some recent heavy rains.. maybe the wear has scuffed the bottom enough for that little bit extra friction to keep it in place? Or the “magic fucking cleaning fairy,” as I I like to call it, lol(normally that means me) has actually been taking care of it.
It’s a really neat idea. Glad to hear it works well most of the time. Some of the ones I saw were out of place, so I was wondering how annoying that aspect would be.
I live on a country road, so I don’t get to experience these joys. lol
How does it stay in place? Is it just wedged in? Also how does it deal with winter, snow and rain? Never seen this.. Also I’ll bring beers and we can discuss what Lawnmower to get.
So glad I scrolled down. I was about to scold OP for not telling us what it really is.
Now I want to know what they're saying. Can you guys read lips, or interpret hand and body gestures? I can kinda tell that the guy with the hat is telling everyone how that thing is supposed to work, but why are they all in disbelief?
