You're getting close.  Solution is to attach a carpet runner to the 
leading edge of the ramp.  But the carpet runner needs to be as long 
as the wheelbase of the car, so the rear wheel runs onto the carpet 
before the front wheel hits the ramp.  --  You can also place a board 
on the floor in line with the ramp, one end of the board against the 
back wall of the garage and the ramp pushed up against the other end 
of the board.
