Guess you’ll eventually grind off enough that it won’t rub anymore. I’d experiment with laying some wood planks in the tire track to find how much is needed to avoid scraping, might only need an inch thick, and a couple feet long. Just enough to raise the tires to keep the nose from scraping. Once you find what works, and if you don’t like the wood appearance on the driveway, you could switch to some other type of material, like thin concrete patio blocks or rubber mats. (Personally, I’d find a new location, I’d hate to have a heavy rain running down the drive and into my garage. Can’t trust those drain channels.)
It's fine. If you look at the way the bumper is designed, it's very flat on the bottom, I think they knew this car would be rubbing against the ground. I'm on springs so I occassionally rub on stuff on the ground, bumper has never came off and the engine covers are still on. Mine has a lot of scratches on it but still good.
I know you have it parked in the garage but when you take it out, try to angle your car one way so it can get some height on that side and swing the steering wheel back the other way like in this YouTube video, it might be able to help.
Would driving straight into the garage instead of backing in help? Sometimes I've found that even if I have issues going in one way, the other way is fine. At my house right now, I can't back into my driveway unless I do it at an extreme angle - but going in front-first is fine.
but it reminds me... for over 20 years i've driven the sportiest lowest modified cars in this country.
today? i'm happy to rock the suv. get me high get me out of the way get me up and over annoying stuff! take me higher! i'll never drive a low car again.
