Of course not when you will be parking on the curb. You would have to have a flatbed to get in there just for storage. TRUCKE ONLY.The kind with lift suspensions. Who builds garages like that?

Idiots who don't care whether you can get your car in the garage or not.

My sister's driveway is almost that steep.

no, it won't scrape. Just get a 4 post life that will go up about 20' or so. make sure it has a ramp too.

I don't think anything other than a truck could be parked in that garage or even on the driveway without scraping! Looks like about a 30% grade.

Why not build the garage at grade and build the house on top of it? What a horrible design!!!!

I think I would be more worried about high siding (and getting stuck) where the drive way meets the garage floor.

Harbor Freight has a post-Xmas special on Come-A-Longs aka cable jacks.

It's a picture from one of those joke emails showing some poor designs in housing
When I saw that, all I could think of was the air dam scraping ...
along with a few other things on the car

My Wrangler is about the only thing that 'might' go into that garage.
