Suggestions for clearing drivewy

Yesterday I parked in my driveway and it was awful. I scraped in both front and rear. I typically only park in the driveway when I'm switching winter/summer wheels. So it's at most a three times a year event. This is the first time attempting it since I had coilovers installed. previously on Tanabe springs, I would scrape but very lightly. Any suggestions on how to have the car clear the incline? Going in at an angle is not an option as the entrance is narrow. Pics below, yes those scuff marks is where i scrapped.

Driveway Curb Ramps

"Eco-Sport 1-inch" Interlocking Rubber Flooring Tiles

Rubber pads might be your best route since you only would be parking/using them 3-5 times a year. Pick up a couple and raise your entry point a bit and place two over where you're scraping.

Thanks RMB5190. Man those curb ramps are pricey. the rubber floor tiles may do the job just as effectively.

Yea they're costly but Corvette guys seem to swear by them. Don't think they really apply in your case though since there is no gutter to clear per se. Your issue is where the driveway levels out.

You can always lay out some 2x4 or a 2x6 and make a little makeshift ramp. Or get about 4-5 pads and stack em to the side when not using. Should keep the neighbors happy too since you would only have them out 3 times a year or so for maintenance.
