Get a couple of bags of blacktop patch, the stuff used to patch pot holes with, and make a couple of patches in the gutter so you have a nice smooth ramp into the driveway, and when the city complains, swear that you do not have any idea how it got there. Better pack it in there at night so the neighbors cannot say that they saw you do it, and that the kids and the wife do not know the truth either.
When it rains you will have a flooded street, but who cares cause you will not be driving the 914 with a 3.2 engine in the wet anyway (or shouldn't) because you will slide off the road if you give it any fuel. PS make sure to torque your cv joint bolts, or they might fall off (it has already happened to two flesburgs....do not go for a third. And have a video made of the first drive, and post it here. |

If you go this Highly Illegal route, and I hope you do(!) You could be friendly to your other gutter users and put a piece of 1" Schedule 40 pipe against the curb THEN build your asphalt ramps of doom, that way the street will only partially flood and your neighbors will complain about that gawd awful racket you call an exhaust!! and by all means DosXX are much better than one!
