Default Help with bottoming out

When backing out of my driveway, my front-end scrapes the driveway right before the front-end hits the street. When I pull in the driveway I am able to angle better and most times I miss scrapping.

This happens to me too. I've tried every angle exiting the driveway and the one that works best is to just go straight back very slowly, and I usually avoid scraping all together.

Exact same issue. In is ok, if I angle, but back I'm nailing the chin spoiler. I thinking of having my driveway redone, specifically for this issue. Wife is not laughing.
