Good tip, from the taildraggers Options

"Was trying to figure out how to keep the wife from hitting the 912 door when she got out of her car in the garage.
I think I hit it with this simple, low cost idea."

Been doing the string hanging from the garage ceiling for years. Brfore that when my wife put the car in the garage, she would do either( 1. ) in too far - can't walk in front of car , or (2.) not in far enough - garage door will not close.
So I hung a piece of high density foam ( some use a tennis ball ) from a piece of line and with the car in the garage at the correct position , had the foam just touching the windshield. Worked great until I was working around the garage with no car inside. Then I kept walking into this stupid piece of foam. Ah, I have to fix this! So I tied a washer about one foot from the ceiling and a piece of wire bent to look like a fish hook near the foam and whenever I am working in the garage with no car inside I just hook the wire onto the washer and the foam is high enough to clear my hear.
WARNING! If after you finish working, you do not unhook the wire from the washer , then either (1) or (2) above will happen.
Have a good weekend .
