So now here's an awesome (and expensive) upgrade answer to the OP's problem, House vs. Car.

What's he going to do?

For now, I am just gonna go snake like up and down the drive way until we have better and cheaper solution. Probably getting my muffler tip swap out for something smaller in the near future.

OP, is that a drain between your driveway and the road? If so, it is what it is. If not, then flatten out the angle with cement or cold-patch.

Another bit of advice: K-turn in your driveway and exit front-first at a big angle. Trying to back out perfectly is nearly impossible. I never, ever back out of my driveway. Guaranteed I would crush an exhaust tip if I did that.

Also, you have a really wide tapered corner on both sides. Use that to your advantage, because from your pics here you're not.

There is a drain between the driveway and the road but HOA is not allowing it to be tempered in anyway.

Yeah, you definitely need to angle a bit more. You have 2/3 of your entrance you aren't using to your advantage to get in. I still say you should back (reverse) in at a deep angle. It will be much easier. Has been on mine and I've always lowered or slammed my cars

Is your car really OEM height?? The rear, at least, looks like it's at least 1" (and more like ~1.5") below OEM: in the final picture, the left-rear tire is up inside the fender on fairly level pavement.

Just go sideways man! I mean I always do but my driveway is not that steep. If your at stock height then there's nothing else you can do your driveway must be really steep

His sedan definitely looks lowered! No way it's at stock height unless the wheels make it lower but I have stock 17s with swift springs and it's not even that low lol
