I'm amazed no one has mentioned curb feelers

This. I was wondering how long it would take before someone basically said Learn how to park your car.

I thought you peeps all had large garages big enough for multiple cars. When I used to frequent the USA R1 Forum one guy used to double stack his cars/racecars using hydraulic lifts in his very spacious garage.

Here in the UK it is often a case that the garage, integral or otherwise, will only accomodate a small car, anything else you need sunroof to be able to exit the car.

Solid advice but as the OP points out, he's worried primarily about his wife.

I agree with parking in backwards, angle the rear as close to the side of the garage as possible, then straighten out. Take some time and have someone just guide you as you park a few times so you get the feel for it... roll down your windows, use the side mirrors!

I can park the Z in within a couple inches from the side of the garage. I move the passenger side mirror down and out a little so I can see where my rear fenders are.
It gives me and whoever parks next to me PLENTY of room to swing the doors open.

Oh, as youre looking at the garage, I park on the left side...this is important..lol

As he should. Wives are always jealous of the mistress :rofl2:

Exercise caution each and every time you pull in and I would not suggest trying to back her in each time. I learned the hard way doing that.

As someone who also sucks at parking I can sympathize. I think the mirror suggestion is a great solution.

I'd buy a new house.

:iagree:

Obviously this is the most practical solution. If your garage can't comfortably house your Z, what good is it?

Finally, people talking sense.

Ok, I got a one those convex mirrors and can now see for sure the side I was worried about. Another option I was thinking about was getting one of those telescoping handheld mirrors and viewing outside the passenger window (but I think that would have been too much of a hassle).

Hmm... I didn't see the OP mention a wife anywhere in the mix?????

It was actually the second poster (not OP) who mentioned that.

OP, just try to find a parking method that suits you and get comfy +/- mirrors to your taste. I actually find it easier to back in the car really tight to a wall on the passenger side (that way I can still get out), because you can use the mirror to see down the side of the car. I can usually park within 4 inches or so of the fender and the wall with this method. That's just me though.

That's a good idea.
