I knew I'd get a few work-around ideas from the forum participants. A curb ramp sounds like the most workable solution and I don't have to invest thousands to customize the car. I'm hoping that the curb ramp can be secured to prevent someone else from stealing it and that the HOA will allow me to install it.
Currently I am approaching the curb at an angle as suggested and that does well too.
Thanks again to all
