Default The S has a little less room now...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/67809/photo.2.jpg"></center><p>Sorry for the crappy camera phone picture. One parking spot for two vehicles...

I guess I'll be parking the car as far forward as possible to make room for the bike so does anyone have any tips for padding the concrete wall so the car's nose doesn't get torn up if I pull up a little too far. I'm thinking duct tape and some kind of foam???

That'd be nice, but I don't think I can drill holes in the walls.

Default Don't ask, property improvement and it's simple to remove ..I would just do it

I mounted a 2 foot strip to a piece of wood, then bolted the wood strip to the wall with 2 lag bolts..2 simple holes with a cordless drill.
I use mine on the sides to protect the door edges.
Perhaps you could you draw a mark on a wall somewhere to just line yourself up visually every time?

Default Wheel stop

I've used one of these for years. I've had to add some silicone adhesive to the bottom to get it to stay in place. In a community garage it also helps to keep it from "walking away."<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/in+your+garage/garage+accessories/perfect+parking+mat.do">http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/in+your+garage/garage+accessories/perfect+parking+mat.do</a</li></ul>

Default nice problem to have. on the bumper...

hang a tennis ball on a string from the ceiling, so that when it touches the windsheild, you are 1 inch away (or whatever distance you prefer) from the wall...
