Inexpensive garage parking stop aid.

Hope this as helpful to some of y'all as it's been to me.
Have been looking for something more elegant than an old block of wood to use a parking stop assist for my garage.
Just got a couple of this from HomeDepot.
Had to order online as they are not stocked in stores.
Very helpful for tight garage spaces and well worth $8.99. http://www.camco.net/Products/Item?p...9#.VUOtoY5Viko

Delivered to my local store in 3 days.

If it's a home garage, Chamberlain makes a laser guide that activates when you open the door. I have one for my wife and it works great and isn't intrusive. $20 on amazon...

HAHAH. +1.

Cost nothing sometimes if you just walk around your local public park tennis court and look in the bushes.

I built a carport with gravel as the floor. Eventually the tires just make "home" marks and you just drive in and hit the holes. Good for not flat-spotting tires too.
