be nice to see some pics of what is catching it.
Sometimes like 2vettes has suggested you can back in.
sometimes you can get a 2 X 10, and lay it down before the trouble area to get your wheels up a bit before you scrape.
try to get a pic if you can...

Its steep enough that I wouldn't be able to see where I was going if backing in.
But yea, like parking spaces. Some of them are small enough that the tail of the car would be about 2' behind the others if I stayed behind that little raised thing at the end of the platform.

I can't be careful when I want to go forward on the road and there is something in the middle of the road that I KNOW is going to scrape some paint off the front end of my car.
I catch the car on SPEED BUMPS! Shouldn't there be a national height limit for speed bumps or something?
