Just today I was complaining about the size of my garage. Being that I keep all sorts of wood scraps, saw hoses and tools in my garage, although everything is very neat and organized, it’s really a tight squeeze. And I was really annoyed having to squeeze into my car this morning.….. until I saw this blog post and the video link! Take a look, I think you will enjoy the video…
A few days ago I posted a review of a product called the ParkingTarget. It’s a simple little thing you stick on your garage floor to alert you when to stop pulling forward. Some people hang tennis balls from the ceiling to do the same thing (you stop when the ball contacts the windshield), but I think having something on the floor makes more sense.
I was reminded of the ParkingTarget while watching a funny little video about a guy in Belgium who has a garage that is all of 61 in. wide. (Thanks to jalopnik for the link.). There aren’t many cars on the road that could even fit in that garage, but this fellow manages to shoehorn his 58-1/2-in. Fiat in, and the video demonstrates how he does it (in Flemish, but you’ll be able to follow along).
The funniest part is how he aligns the car door with the door to his house so that he can get from the former into the latter. I really don’t think a ParkingTarget would be of much use to this guy. And I promise to stop complaining about the size of my garage.
“Needless to say I was a lot happier with my own garage as well after I saw this video!”
