Homemade driveway ramps
I have a very steep driveway and was wondering if anyone has made a ramp? Also any pics or ideas would help me a lot. I already take it at an angle still scapes a litttle bit, also have this same problem with my hotrod. When I built my house, why i didn't take care of it this is making me

I have a 2X12 that I lay at the end of the driveway long ways, that little step down that is 12" wide is just enough to keep it from scraping, doesn't look good but does the trick. Set it out before I leave and put it away when I get back home.

Do you have a rolled curb/gutter driveway?
Gotta be a way to build something that would serve the same purpose as these Bridjit ramps, as these are like $300:

I've thought about something like this but I'm not sure my HOA would approve...

Ramps
The problem with my driveway is before the wheels hit the curb the nose nose is about a 1/8 of an inch from scraping. Taking it at an angel helps. Maybe time for a new house any thoughts guys.....

Those Bridgits commercials are stupid but the product is nice. I would like some but not gonna pay for them, they will just get stolen if you don't live in a gated community.
The people who damage their car suspension going over the curb need to slow the he11 down, it's like they were trying to launch the car in that video
I'm pretty sure a rolled curb at 5mph is not going to affect my alignment or damage my suspension as much as a giant pothole at 55+
Good luck to the OP in finding a solution, my rolled curb is the only reason I do not lower my C5, air dam already scrapes
