No it wasn't that bad, but the branches would scrape the sides of the V for a quarter of a mile. That drove me nuts knowing I'd have to buff them out. I have another one off of Broadway that was terrifying with the V. On a hill steep enough to make the back step scrape, rock retaining wall on each side of the narrow drive, and fast traffic around a blind curve (as you approach the drive) to keep it interesting. The good news is you get to do it backwards when your done. She told me the UPS guy got stuck so bad they had to call a tow truck. That one is much, much easier in the sprinter.
