    1. How about a really big sail and mast bolted to the bumper, then wait for a big-*** wind?

    2. Screw the garage, park it at the curb and work on it there. Don't forget to wear flip-flops while doing so.

    i still think there should be a way to work a fat girl into this equation--might not need the ******---use as a counterweight on the anchored pull---have her push you steer--etc...solves a lot of problems when utilized properly

    around here, tripA won't bother with a car in the driveway...they even cancelled my mom's friend's account b/c she called for flat tires (1966 Mopar 4dr, wish I had gotten the Poly318 before the son killed it with column-drop burnouts) just too often for their tastes.

    I used to rent a place w/ an uphill driveway...on a main street. created a wooden crash barrier to stop the car we pushed up midmorning when traffic was light. didn't go fast, so the barrier didn't need to be much, and could push it the final few feet into place. luckily the local barney fife was elsewhere in town.

    I have a similar problem, but it is less of a slope. The drive in front of the garage is about two inches lower than the floor of the garage creating a lip for the garage door to seal. It is great for keeping out water and mice, but hard yo push out inoperable vehicles alone. I got a tie down loop on a plate and use a coffin hoist (come a long) to get it over the hump.

    put a couple of old tires on chain and chain it to a push car so it will push it and when you get it inplace it will stop by the chain then block the tires unhook the chain and get to work good luck

    You could harness 1000 chattering teeth toys to the front bumper.

    Edit: Could be dangerous if you fell unconscious in front of the herd.
