How much damage am I doing?
I have a horrible driveway grade and the only way in/out is too go in at a crazy angle which puts me on 3 wheels briefly... something to see for sure but not sure if this is damaging to the chassis or not?? I just got the car this weekend and have 2 immediate plans;
1. ATV loading racks for the time being(rated at 1250lbs per side, since one wheel will be planted this should be fine)
2. demo existing driveway and re-pour new one with reasonable grade($5k) which my wife is crazy about, LOL, but will be done within next month.

my driveway required the 3 wheel motion also. Had an agency power carbon fiber lip on my car, which still scrubbed a little bit. Finally accidentally ripped it off backing out of the driveway one day, then RAN over it! Back to the factory lip!
Im a very lucky guy because the city ripped the lower part of my driveway out to do a utility upgrade on my street, so i got a FREE driveway out of it...now, i have no scraping issues, and no more 3 wheel motion!

i also have a "three wheeled" driveway situation. it was causing abs/psm cel's which would show up either at the time i maneuvered the in/out parking.. or shortly thereafter. once i stopped parking in my driveway, my cels stopped. it also tweaks my drop links and probably even my sway bars. i can hear that. given i just replaced all that stuff, i'm now walking up my driveway.
i think it's a crimped wire or wheel speed sensor which are all cheaper to fix than re-grading my 2nd level parking.

Cool, I felt bad but also know when they are racing and getting after it they are on three wheels too occasionally. The driveway will be done soon so I can get those coilovers this summer

ive got a 3 wheeler as well.
the coolest thing is you can come out of the car (handbrake applied) and rock the car side to side.
you'll look like super man.

wow, I don't think I have ever been up a driveway on 3 wheels and I have seen some pretty bad driveways. I know a Ferrari guy who had asphalt poured to flatten out the curb of his driveway. I was surprised the city allowed that because it seems like it would block water drainage.
