Default Wyndham Driveways (Lowered Car)

I am considering a move to a house in a Wyndham neighborhood (Glen Allen) where all of the driveways have a sort of half-moon gutter system at the base. I am worried that my cars are going to scrape as I drive in (or worse, have the undercarriage get hung up as I drive in).

Does anyone live in a home in Wyndham with a lowered car or have a friend who lives there with a lowered car who can share a story?

Any responses would be much appreciated.

I plan to this week...but if someone responded to this thread today (while I am at work and can save me a trip) with direct experience, that would be great.

I would be renting the house, and would like to avoid using ramps for my DD (slightly lowered WRX). I would be okay using ramps for the BMW as that would only come out 1x a week or so.

if your wrx is only slightly lowerd then it shouldn't be a problem. if it is you can pull into the driveway sideways. but i doubt the driveway will cause clearance issues for your dd.
