6. Use a tennis ball to help you park
Are you tired of misjudging the distance between your car and the walls of your garage, only to end up with dents and scratches on your doors? Or perhaps you’re a new driver who is still getting the hang of parking in tight spaces. Either way, there’s a simple solution that can help you park more accurately and avoid damaging your car: attach a tennis ball to the ceiling of your garage.
Here’s how it works:
- You’ll need a tennis ball and a way to attach it to the ceiling of your garage. Some options include a string or cord, a suction cup, or a hook. Choose the option that works best for your garage and your needs.
- Next, attach the tennis ball to the ceiling of your garage. Depending on the method you choose, you may need to drill a small hole in the ball and thread the cord or string through it. Alternatively, you can use a suction cup or a hook to hang the ball from the ceiling.
- Once the tennis ball is securely in place, you can use it as a guide when parking your car. Simply aim for the ball and stop when you make contact with it. This will help you to gauge the distance between your car and the walls of your garage, allowing you to park more accurately and avoid damaging your doors.
- If you find that the tennis ball is too high or too low for your needs, you can adjust the height by adjusting the length of the cord or string, or by using a different attachment method.
So next time you’re pulling into your garage, just look for that trusty tennis ball and let it guide you to a perfect parking job. No more dents, no more scratches. And hey, we won’t tell anyone…
