I had a hunch you'd figure it out! I had a house, in the past, with a two car garage, and three cars to protect. I put one car, the toy, in the back, center (straight in), and then angled the other two cars, one at about 30 degrees to the left, the other about the same to the right. Worked pretty good, but only because the garage was pretty deep!

Mine is fairly deep, but not that much. There is a gated parking area to the side-which looks pretty tempting for garage expansion to the side. Also a nice shed for some added storage. But, it's only a couple of miles from the beach!

Well, had my car smogged (bi-annual test) this morning; it never fails to amaze me!
%O2 @ 1500 rpm = 0.18
........@ 2500 rpm = 0.16

HC (PPM) @ 1500 rpm = 26 (state avg = 36)
...............@ 2500 rpm = 11 (state avg = 27)

CO% @ 1500 rpm = .07 (state avg = 0.14)
........@ 2500 rpm = .08 (state avg = 0.13)

Didn't do anything special; just drove it from dead cold to the test station - about 9 miles. The tech asked me who tunes the car. I pointed at myself, and he smiled and said that owners with cars like mine fail, then go to a pro for repair, then come back...and fail again. I smiled.
