Nope...
He had just bought a new pickup a few weeks before that and he donated the old one just before the license plates expired as it can't be in the street with expired tags.
It was an old 80's Chevy pickup and he always parked it out in the street as it leaked tranny fluid like a baby without diapers and didn't want the stain on his cement driveway.

Holy Crap!
We call that a "ski jump" here in New England.

Even though I could do that back-in...I wouldn't do it on a regular basis.
Too much hassle.
What does that run look like at the top and also looking down it?

I always take my bars off before backing in. I put them on in the street after pulling out of the driveway too. I’m afraid they would catch on the curb otherwise.
For those that say they have to jack up the trailer to remove them, is it not possible to use a snipe? While I can (and sometimes do) jack up my trailer to effortlessly put my bars on, I often just use the snipe because it is quicker.

I hate to say it...but that is part of the hitching up process!
If you are not doing that, you might as well not bother putting them on.
