Steep Driveway...Ramp suggestions

Just got fresh paint + kit for my RX-7. I have a really steep driveway/curb (steeper than the usual for some reason). With the kit, it's a real PIA to get the car up the curb. Does anyone know of any ramps or anything similar to http://www.discountramps.com/thresh_ramps.htm, but a lot wider. Thanks!

I do not recommend using ramps on anything short of a flat surface.

Have you tried backing in the drive. I have the same problem with my 1st gen widebody kit. Backing in gives me a little more clearance, that or a sharp approach angle to the drive apron.

Call the city and tell them you scrape at the entry to your driveway, get a hammer and make scrape marks in the road right at the end...They will come and install a transition lip to the drive way, makes it soo much nicer=o)
