Is the garage getting smaller? I have the same car, but the garage is definitely shrinking. How could that be? Did someone break into the garage while I was sleeping, tear down the walls, pour footings, lay the block, and reconstruct the garage only to make it smaller? That’s obviously so! That's quite a trick. Or, maybe it’s me! Pulling into the garage (I can only negotiate the left side) to leave room enough for our grandson to pull in his MONSTER-sized Honda Civic is a challenge. It seems so to me as I pull in, back up, pull in again, only to backup one more time and complete the parking process, making sure that he can open his driver’s side door! Sometimes it works, sometimes not. There are definitely times when he has to suck in his stomach, sliding sideways to extricate himself from his vehicle. Beth El parking is so much easier, pull in (never mind the actual lines you’re supposed to negotiate between)! If I happen to straddle the lines, let me know and I will repeat my garage technique.
