8. Where ever it's at, I hope it doesn't get cold enough for freezing rain.
I've seen some steep ones, where the bottom backend of the vehicle scraped across the concrete trying to back out, but those in the picture make the ones I've been on mild.

The way those homes are elevated and being so close to the road is just crazy.

3. Who would build their house that way? Even if it sloped up from the road,
it's still too steep of a driveway.

Who the fuck would build their house that high up from the road at that short of a distance from it?

Fucking morons.

I don't blame the driveway guys at all. They were probably also flabbergasted at the stupidity of house owner.

4. That's right....
I just found this picture on Google and posted it as a joke.

However, there is a real problem there that has nothing to do with the driveway.

The lay of that structure probably violates every code in the book.

I'm really surprised that it actually made it that far into construction without the inspectors making the builders tear it down and re-grade the property.

7. The moron who built my house came close to it.
The driveway's a little bit longer and has a better pitch.
