Amazon sells the rubber stop curb ( no need to attach to floor ), the stick-on wall bumpers, and the lazer pointer lights. The lazer is motion activated, so you can line up two dots on your dash or wherever letting you know you have reached the point of no return (meaning STOP...lol )

 

I was intrigued by the title of this thread, so I opened it up and saw your pictures. I think I saw everything a person could want in your garage, except a pool table....surely there is one, we just didn't see it. All of those bumpers and lasers to park your car are absolutely necessary in that garage. I could never deal with it. Good luck....

 

Ironically, I am from Philly. And yes, pool is my passion. That's why there is a lot of pool stuff on the walls. When I moved, my table would not fit or the car would be out of the garage. So, it's back to the Pool Halls.

 

Beautiful space, and nice toys

I've been using the car's front sensors on my garage back wall, and they are impressively accurate.

 

Ditto.
They go to a solid squawk at around 1 foot short of the wall and very consistently.

 

I was laughing at the giant piece of Quarter Pounder with Cheese artwork until I realized it was a tv commercial.

 

I agree with utilizing the sensors, but when parked I only have about 4 inches before the car bumper would hit the step=up concrete in front. It's a little overkill because the rubber floor bumper does the trick.

As for the burger, welcome to florida. They beat you up with two kinds of commercials on tv. Food or auto sales. It figures, food commercials at night...grrrr

 

What's wrong with the 70-ties 'flaw-free' trick of a "..tennisball suspended from the ceiling.."
that touches your window when you're on the spot the car should be ???

 

Absolutely ! I tried that but kept hitting my head on the ball...lol
Seriously tho, the rubber bumper works great.

 

Suspend the ball so it touches the front of the bumper, attach some glimmering pieces of tape to the suspension wire and you'll see it move,
cost nothing if you have an old tennisball and a piece of string around....

 

How about pasting a piece of foam on the front wall and or the side walls, they exist in different sizes and thicknesses!

Have both a two-car and single-car garage. Park my F-Type in the single-car garage because I am obsessive about door dings.
Also, to create the widest possible clearance to open the drivers side door, I consistently park within 2" or less of the cabinets on the passenger side. Have to fold-in the mirrors to get that close. To park that close on a consistent basis without concern for actually scraping on the right, I use two of the dual-beam laser parking assists, providing four separate laser points, all individually adjusted to form a perfectly straight line from front to back, with everything lined up with the center-line crease in the center A/C dash vent.

First point is directed as far forward as possible so it is seen on the dash about the same time the front wheels have entered the garage. This allows plenty of time to turn the wheels and adjust my position if my approach is off. The remaining three lasers are spaced about 5 feet apart, so I have visual confirmation I'm on the correct line at laser point 2 and again at laser point 3. Minor wheel adjustments are made at each. 4th laser is set at the ideal stopping point, which I've reached when it is in the middle of the vent. After daily practice, my variance from one park to the next falls within an imaginary 2" diameter circle in the center of the vent.

I don't understand how some of you can stand your garages looking the way they do. Surely, your F-Type deserves better...

 

 

^^^ SOME would say that your garage looks 'sterile'.

MINE is lived-in (and worked-in).

++++++++++

In my other garage space (two-car, side-by-side) I have multiple wiffle-ball-on-a-string 'sensors' for my various sized vehicles.

 

You park in the kitchen? That's impressive, though as you point out, pretty darn narrow.

 

Since I'm the only one that goes in that garage, I don't have any concerns about other family members, service people, or guests possibly knocking something over or causing a mishap they would regret.

 

Mine is lived and worked in as well, just choose to put everything away.

With the car pulled out, rolling butcher block work bench is filled with all the mechanic's and carpenter's hand tools you could want.
Air compressor, shop vac, power tools, car wash bucket and supplies, yard tools, two ladders, a dozen paint cans, 3 ice chests, pop-up canopy, tail gate chairs, a dozen banker's boxes, 10 large storage tubs, etc., all neatly stowed away.

 

Mike,

How on earth do you find anything : did you give it barcodes and lists in your computer with cabinet/drawer numbers ? Everything I "..put away.. " gets forgotten,
un retrievable, so I buy things 3, 4 or 5 times... As I have a second house it doesn't really help you know you have it, as it doesn't mean its in the same house as you...

 

LOL... I think my mind issues bar codes because I know precisely where everything is. A place for everything and everything in its place!

 

Love the car stacking on the garage. What is the lift system you use? And how much height do you need to get the two cars stacked?
