Backing into driveways with steep angles?
 
My car sits pretty low with the PSS9 set up, I just discovered a trick, backing in and out of driveways works in most cases and there is no scraping of the front lip. I'm sure most of you mod freaks have already figured this out, I feel kinda stupid that it took so long for me to figure it out.
Any other tricks for entering and exiting tricky driveways? NYC is full of some annoying entrances.

Dont froget to go over speed bumps/steep driveways diagonally too, one wheel at a time.

I found the backing into trick works much better with steep driveways, never had much success with the diagonal thing, it works OK with speed bumps.

just go really fast over speedbumps and cover your ears!

Diagonal means almost parallel to the front of the driveway until you get both wheels on then a quick turn in...

I never tried to go backwards... :)

I drive backwards all the way to work to keep the bugs off the front.

Yes there is. I have custom aluminum plates cut and glued to the bottom of our "teeth" area. The don't show when you look, but protect the teeth and front area like a charm.:)
