That’s how people park in my era, creep up on the curb and wait for the scraping noise or for resistance from the front wheels. Done!
When someone else bought the car, or there’s an unlimited flow of funds, oh well.

A guy I know did that all the time.
He’d pull into the parking space, nose first, in his BMW E46 estate, he could move it forward and back just fine, no noise, no scraping. But he’d come back and as he started up and went to move back, out of the space would get the scraping sound.
Turned out, if he parked his car for half an hour or so, the car would rest slightly on it’s suspension. It happened almost everytime.
Poor car.

My car does that too, I hate it. The front bumper is half an inch too low for your standard parking kurb.

All curb stops do that to my Miata. It’s got a little baby spoiler on the front that catches them all. I always have to stop a couple feet back. It’s not lowered either, that’s the stock ride height; if I dropped it any more I’d never make it over the speed bumps in the grocery store parking lot.
Fortunately it’s a short car so the rear end doesn’t sick out in the traffic lane. The opposite, in fact; people drive by and see what appears to be an empty parking space, but when they get right up to it, dammit! there’s my little car tucked away out of sight behind the huge SUVs on either side.
