Phoenix driveways for homeowners

Teej,
I'm lowered, barely clear pulling in forward and invariably drop the front spoiler on the sidewalk backing out. So... I decided to try and back into the driveway and have had no issues front or rear... Just a thought.
Looking forward to meeting you as well (I'm from Michigan originally...Walled Lake)
Tim.

Interesting.... Hmm.....
Your ride will be breaking a lot of necks here.
There are strong fiscal reasons why we are looking to buy now instead of renting first. There's a slight drop off in my consultant pay to the full time job.We have a good Realtor that knows the layout and I have roamed around quite a bit in the past 6 months. Right now the two front runners is a house in Gilbert and a house in Goodyear. In some cases, the house we are looking at will have a rolled curb but the one next door wont. :tongue:
And about the HOA, we were told that homes built after a certain date are all in HOA's so now its about finding the less douche'y HOA
The exception I guess is if you purchase your own lot somewhere and build with an independent builder? We would not be doing either. I have a very short window to make this all happen and don't want to drop more than $280k if possible... 3 stall garage, pool, 4bed, 2.5bath (min). Has to have a good school district because my step daughter has 3 yrs of HS left and shes a frickin mess.. so must have options should one school not turn out :miserable:
Gilbert and Goodyear are practically in different hemispheres... for you job, does it matter where you live? Cause if one of these places is close to work, the other is definitely not.

coming soon to a rolled driveway near you.
This car is beautiful. No flashy body kit wings west garbage hanging off the sides and no Type-R wing... nice, subtle wheels, too.
Thanks... it had an DF FRP black R spoiler when I bought it. But I sold it so I could afford to buy OEM red interior components.. I'm happy with the OEM spoiler.
The house we ended up choosing, although in Gilbert, is about as far as the houses we were looking at in Goodyear. I work at Maricopa County hospital by Skyharbor.
Ah, okay. A friend of mine used to live in Gilbert. He's a pilot for Southwest, so he made that commute fairly often. I guess it's about a half hour in light traffic.
Nice pictures, and welcome teej!!!
Crawfish season will be over, but fun times with the NSX will make up for it!
Took my NSX out today for lunch, such a joy to drive.

Well, it's a bit more than you want to spend but you got IT ALL with my house for sale in Gold Canyon. Nice house, pool, enclosed (block wall) backyard, easy driveway, and a big shop to work on your NSX (air conditioned of course).

We are in final stages of a 4/2.5 3100 sq ft in Gilbert but thanks
Cool. Too bad I didn't see your post a few months ago as I sold a simply beautiful home in San Tan Ranch in Gilbert right in your price range. If you are not used to heat be prepared to take some time to acclimate to the Phoenix summers. Last year was my first and being from SoCal it's hard not to be able to open a window for three months!
Do a search on the web and u'll find a purpose built strip made for these soft curb driveway entrances (hoa approval not withstanding) if you dont want to go the diy route. Theyre usually black

The city was redoing sidewalks in my nieghborhood about 6 months ago so I paid the crew a little extra on the side and had them tear out the rolled curb and put a nice ramp in across the sidewalk. I have a VRH on the NSX which worked but the Supra still could not get in and out without a 3/4" sheet of plywood laid down. No more of that!
Think I've seen these. About $400?
You can make your own with a 10' long sandbag which is way cheaper, and molds to your curb profile good
presuming that your front lip will clear it...
drag it out, drag it in.. easy
or learn the perfect angle and go very slow
or buy Steve's new lift kit and cry once
Looking forward to hanging out with ya and showing you some good drives around AZ
LOL! I wanna know some good drives around AZ! Not much that I've found around here... at least, not on the west side
I'm gonna try Tim's idea and back in my driveway. I will report my findings.
well yea... because race car :biggrin:
Ok I can confirm that ass first is less scrapage :biggrin:
