When I had my civic, I drove to work (gravel parking lot) as usual and parked the car. When I came back that evening they had come in and poured new gravel, that hadn't been packed down yet.........new gravel was 1-2" higher than where my car was parked. There was nothing else to do other than cut the wheels and hope for the best, ended up ripping the front bumper cover off and busted my lip into 3 pieces.
