I would call him back and leave a voice mail with uncontrollable laughter for about 30-40 seconds.
I would text him that would need certified quotes from 3 shops. Make him do all that work and then bring them to you. Then laugh as you pull out a lighter and set them on fire, while still laughing.
Go out to your driveway and look for where his car scraped the concrete/asphalt. Call him and leave a voicemail saying you expect him to come and repair the small chunks of your driveway that his negligence caused.

I called him back and got his answering machine and basically just told him very professionally that his situation was not my responsibility, that every other car that has entered the driveway that I'm aware of has never had an issue. I figured ignoring it would just result in more calls, and as though I was worried of guilt.
Then I told him that if he wished to proceed further that he should mail me a certified letter in regards to his demands and that if so wished he could file a claim against me in small claims court at a cost of $85 filing fee, because I would not be paying the damages. Either way, I'm not too worried any longer. I've discussed the situation with the neighboring landlord who said he actually had a similar situation a few years ago where a person's muffler wasn't secured properly and snagged the ground while backing out and he told them something similar to what I said. He agreed there was nothing to worry about, the drive is steep is abnormal compared to most other driveways and perhaps inconvient in the winter, but not unreasonable by any means.
In case anyone's curious, here's the property: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.699...ata=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sXoA26oEDq0GZ513wecsSjw!2e0
It's the light blue house on the right. Kind of hard to see the slope from the front.
Doesnt really matter if its "reasonable" or not really. Its private property.
He was invited there
Best reply in thread so far.
Then tell the guy to go pound sand.
