The curb going up to my driveway is a little too high. If I don't pull in at just the right speed and angle the bottom of my car will scrape. Can't have that!
Do you know of any remedies (besides moving) to resolve this?
My old complex had rubber curb adjusters that were added to some driveways for lowered cars. Not sure the brand or models but a brief google search shows a number of different products out there to aid with the rain gutter/curb. Depending on how steep yours is, it may be an option for you.
That’s pretty cool. My problem is the grade break from my steep driveway to the flat garage floor. There’s a little valley just in front of the garage to channel rain away that my front spoiler rubs on.
I am thinking about the Bridjit, too. I've figured out a safe in/out routine which requires excellent clutch and steering control... I just can't bring myself to spend like 600 bucks for it. Yet. Some of my neighbors have had their driveway apron and house-side of the concrete drain/curb dug up and replaced at more hospitable angles.

600 bucks?!? Cost me 300 for the two 4 foot sections. No need to go across the whole drive if the money is a concern I ordered off Amazon.
I just did this about 18 months ago. Reinforced concrete is very durable even without rebar. Took about 2 to 3 hours cost me $80. I'm sure its against some code somewhere. The city has to be involved for refurbishing the entire approach with quotes around $6k.

Same problem here. I have a very steep approach angle from our street to our driveway, with a decent dip in the rain gutter at the edge of my driveway. I only clear the transition from my driveway without scraping about 1 out of 5 times, no matter how many different angles I try. I considered the Bidjit and put out a feeler on our Facebook neighborhood page on what some of my neighbors are doing, if anything. Our HOA is pretty strict and I'm concerned if I buy the Bridjit, someone will immediately complain, and I'll be out several hundred dollars.
The concrete filler in the lowest part of rain gutter that @myltz400 installed is probably the most practical, cost-effective solution that won't draw too much attention to it. I believe it is County property where I live, but if our County's Road & Bridge department is as responsive with a complaint from a neighbor regarding a rain gutter modification as they are to pot hole and street sweeping requests, than I should be in good shape.
