Some guys try to enter at an angle .
Others get a ramp .
Changing the driveway sounds expensive .
There is one other option -- a nose lift with coil overs.

Thumbs up

nice car. congrats. I think you def made the right choice. your upfront cost might be more than you initially budgeted, but you will save down the line. A 05-06 model will most likely require several costly mainteance items a few months after your purchase (tires, brakes, rotors, etc), a 09 model (most likely) can avoid all of that for a good year (obviously depends on alot of factors). And IMO knowing you still have 3 yrs of factory warranty is worth atleast a couple of $k to me. and if all else fails, heck, the LED lights are nice.

nice car - bit of a flip of choice though -you went from a 996 turbo to a 997 carrera!

i bought the turbo that you passed on at sonnen! im really happy with it!

yes the turbo was expensive but afterall it is a turbo and it has CPO & 1 owner
