Pretty much anything at an incline you're going to scrape on. Driveways, speed bumps, pot holes (those really suck when you're going fast), the list goes on. It's not that bad though, most of the time it scrapes on the very bottom of the bumper so you can't see it unless you go under the car and look.

learn to angle your car into the incline, and less scraping will occur.

i think fatninja19 means to accelerate into the bump, throwing the weight to the back of the car and hopefully lifting the front up enough to clear the bump

sorta hard to explain but um.... instead of going straight into the driveway, approach the driveway so that one wheel gets onto the drive way first... so instead of being perpindicular to the driveway, make your car so its like a 45 degree angle with the driveway....

damn, did that make any sense? and does any one know what the hell i'm talking about or am i full of shit?

that would work, but whichever corner you lead with will still scrape, maybe a bit more than normal. the rest will be ok though if u r willing to risk a little scraping

I rarely scrape. Just slow down over big objects. It's not that hard.
