Dumb idea to put in a nice white driveway! Right now I have leftover shingles under my parking spot, and was wondering if anyone else uses any driveway protection to keep their wife from complaining about the oil spots.   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Senior Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 718 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 10:27 am:    I keep an old "pasteboard" box under my truck, replace it when it gets "ugly" also provides a nice way to monitor oil dripage   Jack Leitch (Liveattheedge) Member Username: Liveattheedge Post Number: 147 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 04:12 pm:    i use one of the plastic tray's that came with the eagle lift. You could use cardboard but you have to keep changing it and it gets very annoying changing it after a rain. http://66.113.231.142/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=612-100 Cheers Jack   Tim '92 RR (Snowman) Senior Member Username: Snowman Post Number: 689 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 06:34 pm:    In my garage a piece of 1/2" OSB does the trick. Come bonfire time it fires right up. Congrats on the new house!   mark gomez (Mark) Member Username: Mark Post Number: 54 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 07:04 pm:    I use a galvanized drip tray made by blitz.

That's what we put in the garage. It won't blow away like a piece of cardboard either.

Either that or get a quote from the dealer to fix the leaks, that will quiet her down too.

It is like that first scratch or ding on your brand new car.
