Retiring to ky next month. After we bought a new house with 2 car garage. (wifes dream home) I realized that I'm not going to be able to my vette up the drive way. Limited room to have it redone. besides cost. I don't know what to do. I'll have to find storage to keep it in, or sell it. I'm not a happy camper.

Trust me I have a driveway from hell! 1200' long with several waterbars and steep angle changes, near 25% grade in spots. I had to pay to have some of those angles reduced by repaving a few sections, didn't cost much but I can drive with nary a scrape as long as I follow the correct line
Sad story. It's not collectable. If I had to pay to store my C5 and it restricted my ability to use it on a regular basis it would be GONE.
Many years ago I had a similar dilemma when I owned a C4. Just purchased a small yacht and found I had to decide if I would bring my boating gear and cooler or a date, no room for both. The date won, the car was gone and I was without a Corvette for quite a few years.
You could always install a lift system. Press a button and raise the front end, press it again and lower it. Not cheap, but cheaper than regrading a driveway!
I'd also look into a secondary driveway...good excuse to build a shop/barn.
I don't know how big your driveway geometry problem is, but I was able to solve mine with some concrete pavers:
driveway stones
I probably could have gotten a better color match if I had shopped harder. Luckily I don't live in a Home Owners Association, and no one has complained.

If you have certain brands of coilovers you can add "Air Cups" to raise & lower the front end.
