Don't srew around on my driveway ...
A couple of months ago I came home from work to this ... (I'll give you one guess which of the 3 people in the pic was driving 
)
Last night, my wife had a little problem ("I only looked down for a second ...").
The slopes are a lot steeper than they look in the pics ... I'm surprised the Kia didn't roll!

The Kia wasn't my problem ... she got a wrecker (you can see the cable on the ground behind the car).
The Subi I easily pulled out w/ my 150, but not before I connected a strap from the back corner to a tree to keep it from rolling.
My poor wife was completly traumatized by the whole incident ... bet she drives a little more carefully on the road from now on.
I've driven the driveway probably 5000 times and have never once even come close to going over, but every time I walk down it I see places where people have dropped tires over the edge.

When I was a kid we had a similiar dirt driveway, about 1/4 mile long that wound up a hill. I had a '65 MG Midget (1500 lb two-seater "sports"car), that was loads of fun on it.
That's a hell of a driveway.

Fairlaner, that is awesome driveway and I am willing to bet they pay more attention now.
Just go get a Suburau Imreza WRX STI and screw paving the drive way!!!! I would have my own little rally race when I get home from work every night.
