My friend has to do the exact same thing with his. worse is that his landlord parks right next to him in a small *** two spot lot and they always park retarded.
Theres this guy who lives by me who has a Ford GT 40 that put a ramp (plank of wood) to cure that problem.

if possible
go in head first at more of an angle than the pics above. (about 20-25 degrees)
turn your wheel all the way to try to get the tires to touch first.
reverse out the same way.
if in doubt, have someone watch as you roll up.
my gf is great for that.

i use to have an eclipse dropped on pro-kits and i would have been fine with your driveway.
hate to see the Mine's lip getting screwed up.

it looks close and it really is close, thats about as much angle as i can get and still get on that side of the garage, if i go at all quick it scrapes, but if i go slow enough and don't turn the wheel till the right tire hits the lip on the driveway im all clear i can go in straight from the right hand side of the driveway, if im in and out a lot that day

I have the same problem. I have the lip, car lowered and that type of curb into the driveway plus, an incline.

Solved the problem with a couple of curb ramps from McCarthy Steel Products.

Little pricey but they work great.

Sucks, it's always easier to go in nose first though. I wouldn't even back up on my driveway because its a lot harder then going in nose first at a crazy angle.

^To scrape is to mod. I don't know how you guys get out of the driveway?

OP, your approach angle is not turned in enough, and I think you should exit through the other side of the driveway.

Looks like you're selling your house anyways, so live with it. LOL

I always thought nose first was easier then reversing..that driveway does look very annoying though.
