Heres a short video, take one because it was getting dark. I could have kept doing it until I got it perfect, but this was a quick set up and go, just for this thread.

Haha.
Well anyways, I bought some cheap ramps at Pep Boys and supposedly they came with these anti-slip pads you attached to the ramps but they still slipped. I'll tell you what, that was some horse crap.
So I went to Home Improvement and bought a 12' long thick board and cut it in half. Used the two 6' boards and wedge them between the house base/frame in the garage and the ramps to hold them in place. Works good for me! Little practice and you'll get the hang of it. Just take it easy haha.

The few people who I've let drive that car say I drive with the seat too far forward so I don't know.
Actually in the video I made you might notice the ramps aren't even. I hit the end of the passenger side ramp, but was hardly on the back stop for the drivers side. If I were to do anything I would have repositioned them.
Someone else mentioned opening up the door to help. I tried it and it feels unsafe.

Wow, thats ingenious! Right now I drive a FWD car, and I dread the time I have to drive up "the ramp" F body will be on the way this summer.
