Side pipe ground clearance

And remember, it is not so much the slope of the ground that you have to be concerned about but rather the transition from one slope to another that occurs within the few feet confines of your low point and the wheels. Just think about it, if you have all four wheels on the inclined ramp, it doesn't matter whether that ramp is pointed 65 degrees up in the air.

That's right. I was concerned with the car halfway into the garage. There is an angle change between the driveway and the garage floor. I wanted to make sure that angle change was small enough so nothing would hit at the edge of the garage floor.

The forms are set now and it turns out the angle change is much less severe than I thought it would be, and there will be plenty of clearance under the car.
