Default garage mod - GP compatible

Well on my flight to Boston this morning I was flipping through the skymall catelog and came across this GP getting a little face time. Anybody need help knowing how far to pull into their garage??

What's wrong with this picture???



Why have a "back-up" cam, if you're not going to use it?
She should have been a blonde!

I guess I am a moron...

Actully if you go to Home Depot you can buy parking blocks for your garage, you can attach them w/ 3m tape or bolt them to the floor, there heavy duty plastic. I put them for one wheel on both sides of the garage (2 car garage) because I wanted to have the most space in front of the garage (work benchs and such) I could have. I just attached mine w/ the supplied 3m tape, I didn't want to drill holes in the floor to re-adjust them later, there cheap too! I have both cars rear bumpers about 3-4 inches away from the door for the max amount of room. I work in my garage alot...

guess i was lazy. i put down a spare chunk of 4x4 treated lumber. i didnt secure it to the floor though... sometimes it needs to move, but if your parking against it, the tire wont make it move

I like that sensor one that looks like a stop light.......

it has a proximity sensor...so you drive your car in when the light turns green....and then it will light up red......can you believe it ...when you should stop!!!!!!!

Maybe I am a moron but I use to paint a line to park my tires on because I squeezed a 79 T/A and a 70 W-30 442 into a garage That was full of tools and benches. I needed as much room as possible in my garage so I could work in it and get my snowblower in and out. So I needed every inch possible. I used the lines as a guide to get close to the wall as I could and get the front almost touching the back bench. Didnt want to risk a scratch on either.

That was the first thing I said when I saw that picture in the magazine as well. That magazine has got some pretty silly photos/products in it. It was a good laugh.
