[GH85Carrera]

Our house has the garage on the side of the house. The front of the house looks nice, and the garage is not the main focus of the house from the front like most houses. With the huge driveway, I just pull up to the fence, and back into my space. The three car garage is one big double door, and a single door. I use the single door since it has the workbench and the lift.

Main point of all that is I back into a one car wide space every time I park. I can just pull out and leave and not need to back up at all. If Mrs Carrera uses the Elky for some reason she just leaves it in front of the garage and "lets" me back it in. I just use the two outside rear view mirrors, and back in between the 2x12 garage door pillars. I visually line up with a handle on the workbench drawer to know I am far enough back.

If I am backing in with the pit uncovered and trying to get it over the lift I drop a tennis ball on a string as a guide to dead center. The tennis ball is tucked out of the way the rest of the time.

One of my friends mother has started his car, and backed into the still closed garage door twice. That is going to be a tough thing to do when the garage door is in front of the car and I pull forward to leave.
