good thing i drove to work in my own car today!!!
my wife got ambitious and ordered 9 yards of decomposed granite. the final step of our front yard "re-do". my wife forgot to move her car, and now there is a huge pile of material blocking her in. if i left my truck there, they would both be blocked. i have a multi-car driveway that we have to park in tandom.
wow.

you know what is going to happen now, don't you?
you are going to ferry her all over town (incl. shopping trips & gab sessions with her friends) BUT that will give you some relief from the back-breaking job of moving the crushed rock from blocking her car BTW - let's see a pic of this pile |

Sheesh, you make it seem like the car is trapped...
You could drive out of there np if your worried about the curb/berm.... shovel some of the crushed stone over and make a ramp..and drive the car out..

Giggle...reminds me of many decades ago, when "somebody" ordered a dump load of quarter minus to be delivered to the home of the high school principal.
"Just dump it in the driveway and send me the bill"...

note to self... don't purchase a used rental car no matter how cheap it is. you should be able to back over that thing on the right.
