It is definitely a good photoshop job. I think it is fake just because ther eis no reason to build a house like thta. Look at the surroundings, there are some rolling hills but nothing else that steep and it looks like there is plenty of other land to spread that dirt out on to level things out. Plus the house in back looks much lower, again, why not make all the houses in one row have a slight incline instead of one or 2 with impossible ones.

As far as concrete goes, it is definitely possible (though difficult) to pour on that much of an incline, you just need to get a stiff mix of concrete, start at the top and work down. (if you start at the bottom, it will all slump down as it sticks to the previously poured concrete).

 

The apron of my driveway is steep enough for my '99 Jetta to scrape if I back straight out and don't cut the wheel a little bit. My 06 MCS can back straight out without scraping. Anyone who owns a Jetta can attest to how much of a pain the front end can be as far as clearence!

 

I've notice entry speed to that angle can be a big player too. Slow down before attacking that steep angle.

 

again for all the feedback!!!

 

Driveways like the ones Bumble78 posted are the results of poor or no Planning and Zoning Regulations. As much as those regulations can be annoying, they can prevent things like these.

 

I have seen drive ways similar to this (although this seems extreme) in Charlotte NC. They don't have to worry about snow or ice. That doesn't mean that this ISN'T a photoshop, but I could believe it.

 

If you will angle your car when entering any driveway that dips, it will make all the difference in the world, we have scraped a couple of times, but it was my husband driving & not me , the sound is much worse than it really is.

That driveway was impossible, had to be a photochop job .
