    Hate to break it to you, but both “drive-through” and “drive-thru” are considered correct.

    Wikipedia refers to “A drive-through or drive-thru (a sensational spelling of the word through)…”

    As explained on Erin Wright Writing, “According to our primary American-English dictionaries (Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Webster’s New World College Dictionary, and The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language), drive-through is the preferred spelling, while drive-thru is an accepted informal variant. However, the use of drive-thru has become so common that using drive-through now feels incorrect.”

    Also keep in mind this is Xitter, where abbreviations are are a normalized (often necessary) part of the lingo.

                You put the large rocks in the front yard, with an island and plants around them. For the driveway, if it’s a road-facing garage, your car should block that. If you don’t put the car in the garage, leaving the car ramps or blocks you use to change your oil against the garage door should be fine.
