I am buying a 1999 coupe next week,at present I dont have a garage and will have to store it in a commercial facility .The entrance has a 1 3/4 " lip .Will I be able to clear this with the front end without grounding out?Im new to this forum and this is my first post ,please bear with me if i sound uninformed as to the Corvette owners world.At this age alot gets by me and my memory tapes dont play long.Thanks to anyone who offers advice I do appreciate it.

Say you have the garage door up? Say you have two tapered wooden planks to lay down so you clear the rise.

You could also try a motor-home dealer that have a bunch of combo "type ramps" for leveling (or clearing a rise is) the MH on a grassy park, hook-up kind of weekend level the MH or roll out of bed; the angle is that steep is just park and forget it.

You could have a senior moment is to really gas it into the garage. Your front wheels hit the rise? That bounces the front end up in the air, you then gas it more so bye the time the front comes down, you cleared the tail end as the front levels off is back on the ground, thus, the rear clears the back end and yer in! No ramps needed.

Try both ways since I'm having a senior moment wondering where I parked my MH is it's been about 3 years now since I forgot wear out eye parked it. :thumbsup:

Go slow & maybe on an angle & u should b fin..
Just remember to check tire pressureas well..

I don't think that an inch and three quarters is going to be a problem if all is level and that is that only issue(s).

Great post, as with our Vettes that are lowered it is great info!! Cool avitar!:cheers:

I know about age (60) this site is a good site I always ask questions about my car so far no one has said anything our of the way .
I like this site & the members always try to hep . So ask away! oh Iam new on the web site & own my corvette two months .:patriot:

The front chin gaurd flexes and is spring hinged.
If it was to hit something the bottom would push inwards and return to position so I would not worry about a 2 inch lip.

You can always drive over on a right angle and would be fine.

Being your using a public parking area I would not suggest the legal issues leaving some planks there for someone to trip on and ramps would be useless in the dark or bad weather.

My 99 sits as low as a C5 can and even gets over speed bumps or curbs, just have to so some at an angle.

Thanks to all for the suggestions/solutions.Nice to have folks there to help when needed.

:iagree: Go VERY slow untill you get things dialed in, get out of the car if you can to check clearance, but definately approach at an angle. :thumbsup:

Or treat it like a band aid on a skinned knee that you want to take off, count to three and go real fast!!lol:rofl: :rofl:

My '03 is pretty low to the ground, I always have to approach dips and driveway at a serious angle to clear. Down side to having car lowered. No regrets when I'm in the corners!
