I honestly have never tried to pull the car in the driveway, friend has an s2k that's not even as low as mine, and he'll scrape getting in it

Pussy, Id whip that shit right up without scraping. If your front bumper scrapes no matter what angle 0-180*. Well be right next to the curb, not on it. Than turn your wheel all the way. Your tire will go out past your fender, and catch the curb. From there, you just ease it up the curb, the rear will follow, and than your just proceed to turn into the driveway.

Once you have one tire up, its all easy from there.

i'm fairly confident your car could get in there..mine is a whole lot lower and i've hit more extreme slopes, just at an extreme angle. All you can do is try..

When I picked up my car from the seller he warned me about the driveway and showed me the front bumper he totally chewed up. He said I would definitely scrape, and I asked if he hit sideways and he looked at me perplexed, on the way out I didn't scrape at all.... but it did take me a couple of minutes.
