The first item they featured, the parking mats that you put on your garage floor to help you park at teh same place everytime and not run itho the front wall, My dad thought something up years ago that works works really good for that. He would drill a hole through a Golf ball and run a string through it and suspend the Golf Ball from the garage ceiling over the windshield of the car or truck on the driver's side and when you parked, you'd just drive forward until you saw the Golf Ball coming towards you and stop when the Golf ball hit the windshield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I put in for my wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 40 years I have had two short pieces of 2x4 bolted to the concrete. It works for old full size cars and new smaller cars when placed properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of fasteners did you use to bolt to the concrete? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of fasteners did you use to bolt to the concrete? I think it's just an alternative. I used concrete lead anchors. One in each board. I must admit that in Minnesota salt and snow during Winter the boards haven't rotted a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
