could you maybe put some kind of rubber edge on the part of the entry that you keep rubbing up against to at least give the paint on the car a break.

Cheapest option is to share the cost of a brick paver driveway extension with your neighbor so you can both make a wider turn in.


I suck.

Can you make the driveway wider at the entrance of the garage, it would let you swing into it wider? I can't tell how close you are the house next to you from your image.

That's his stripper pole, it's not going anywhere.

From an architectural/engineer point of view it is not a big change to remove the poll and make it a two car garage door. The contractor will add a post (poll) at the ends of the garage door and a header spanning the 16ft as (3)2x12 or (2) PSL beams that go across dependent if there is a room above your garage or just the roof to distribute the load from the one post to the two new posts. It is a simple change that I don't think will cost very much at all. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn but I'm an architect. PM me if you want any more info or have any questions.

you guys gotta learn to be more careful when you exit and enter that there garage...

your insurance will cover it but they will classify it as an at fault accident and therefore your rates may go up if you do not have some sort of accident forgiveness program.

I live in a city with skinny alleys and drive a CL-S with a HUGE Turning radius and I have never hit my car on the side of my garage.....

if you have having troubles with the garage, turn in back up and straighten out before you enter, problem solved
