  • Parking Woes...

    No this isn't another bad parking job thread. Then again...

    So I needed to get my Festiva off of the street before the city towed it away. I went and got a storage unit to put it in, found a tow dolly from a freind and pulled the Festiva with no issues. When we got to the storage unit and unloaded the car. I looked at the storage unit an thought it looked small, but then my festiva is small so what the hell. We pushed the car inside anyway. This is what it looked like...








    So I went and asked for a bigger unit because the car wouldn't fit. The front is up against the back wall.
    If you can't fix it with a hammer you have an electrical problem.

          back up and ram the wall a few times, then it should be deep enough.

                  take off both front, rear bumper and the muffler. I don't think you'll have a problem closing the garage.. LOL!

                          I suggested that when we were there, but we didn't have any ramps, and I wasn't about to hold it up.
