Curbs/Driveways
 
Those of you that have to get onto a curb to pull into your driveway, what was your solution? I'm buying a house and although getting the Z up the driveway was a concern I couldn't let it rule out a house. I have nismo so the ground effects make it harder as it plus boosted performance kit (turbo under car) so I'm really worried about scraping when pulling in or out.

Sounds to me like the house isn't the right and or perfect house. Keep looking!

Your best chance to do it without scraping is an extreme angle entry :twocents:

The housing market in Denver is insane that's definitely not an option!

Buy a few bags of the cold asphalt and build a small ramp at the bottom of your drive. Done!

super angles and taking your time.

unfortunately for me I'm on a hill and also incline on my driveway. if someone is on either side of my house I'm going to scrape the front chin a bit.

imho drive to the house and try get in and out ;) just pretend you were doing a 3-point turn ahhaha

Hell, I've been angling into driveways for so long, I sometimes do it when not necessary;)

Back in on an angle, and come out at an extreme angle

I suggest setting up shop in the Netherlands or Luxemborg. Very low. All good stuff.

I enjoy it plenty! Forced induction is an even bigger advantage up here!

I have a 2015 nismo and my drive way is steep with the curb .....I don't scRap when I come in at a angle ....just have to take it slow and I always get one tire off the ground for a second or two

You could try contacting your Denver Regional Building Authority and ask if they would allow you to have the curb broken out, width of your driveway. Then have a short section repoured up to your driveway. Worth a shot, wouldn't cost that much considering

I have to take a fairly big angle to get on my driveway without scrapping my front in. I do what I have to do to minimize scraping. 90% of the time I pull in and out of my driveway in such a angle that I run over 1 or 2 ft of lawn grass. I said it before and will say it again. Screw the grass; it can die! Save the ride!
