On the positive side, easier to bleed the air out of the cooling system …

Manyears ago I did concrete. Could not pour it that sloped without it flowing down and over the borders and leaving rebar exposed.
They would know that a vehicle would bottom out trying to get into the garage.
See @lion9car’s post above. Not fake.

I fixed your childish spelling . And yes , a good concrete contractor can pour on an incline .
Yet it’s done all the time.

Poured original driveway. Tore it out 1 year later to change angle? Cement work is cheap.
Some cars, such as the Porsche 911 you can order the car with the optional front hydraulic lift, which will raise the front letting you clear exactly an obstacle such as this.
Would that driveway not be several thou$and?
Would raise enough to clear that driveway/garage floor edge??
How did the mowers haul furniture into house?
Better yet why would anyone buy a house like that?

I had to move a bevy of heavy house-hold items up some really steep cement stairs one time. I configured some parallel 2 X 6’s running up the stairs as skids, and pulled each item up the stairs using a hand-winch from above.

It’s a lot like carrying furniture upstairs in a two or more story house. We have a mattress that is probably 150 to 200#. Two movers carried it up the stairs with shoulder straps that hooked under the mattress. I’ve also used a pair of hand trucks that the furniture is strapped to then rolled into the home. See illustrations below.
I probably mentioned this here before but I had a girlfriend when I was much younger and their family was in the plumbing business. Went to her Uncle’s house and saw the driveway was steep going down to the house and garage. In Wisconsin winters, this is a recipe for disaster. When I asked about it, he pointed to a switch on the wall that ran a hydronic heating system embedded in the concrete driveway. Going to snow or get icy? Flip the switch…

Even in milder climes, buying a house that is at a lower elevation than the street is just not a good idea. Even if ice isn’t a factor, getting water in the basement during rain storms is always a distinct possibility under that type of circumstance.
I agree. In this case, it was on the side of a hill so a little landscaping with swales around the house and no chance of flooding. But I am highly in tune with your sage advice. My first house was on the side of a hill but had an issue that would allow all of the water to sit against the front of the house. I found this out the hard way. One spring, we had a big melt and I came home to find the window wells full and water coming out of the basement block wall and floor in jets! The front wall almost collapsed. I spent some big bucks having a basement company push it back and reinforce it with rebar and concrete down every pocket. Then I put in some swales to redirect the water around the house. That changed my way of looking at potential homes after that
