Looks like your situation is variable in size and could benefit from something self leveling. Perhaps gravel that would still drain and then set some type of simple ramping over when driving on. Or perhaps something like some sized cuts of thick conveyer belt rubber type material. That can handle car weight well, doesn't easily deteriorate, and can be cut to size and even stacked. That idea may drive over a bit humpety-bumpety, but could perhaps fill the core void distance at issue. My lift manufacturer sells small strips of it to equalize the jack point heights and I like the stuff and now see various uses for it! Brent

I like the gravel idea, as well as seeing if I can get the HOA to come in and smooth the transition. There is quite a bit of drainage there, and I don't want it pouring into my shop, so I'll need to be a little careful. I'm not sure when the pavement was done--it's been that way since we bought the house 3 1/2 years ago, but it wasn't an issue until recently when I started using it as a shop for my Cobra.

Rather than pea gravel I would suggest smaller river stones (rounded rocks) in the 1" diameter range. That will allow enough gaps for drainage and they won't wash away if you get any flow there during heavier rains. Easy to drive over, too, and they won't disburse like a pea gravel would under weight. Good luck.
