Thanks.. they came from Tire Rack.  I was disappoint to see that the stickers for Sparco were pre-applied.  I was under the impression from other boards that they came on a sheet, ready for the customer to put them on.

Someone carved some nice deep gouges into her front bumper...



No note left.  :(  Time to get that camera put in.

No..  I don't know when it happened.  I just noticed it today. 

Thinking about it for some bit, I think I know where those came from...    I need me some tennis balls on a string.

You must back into the garage then?

I tell her to back into the garage so she can open the hatch without opening the main door.  When she noses in, she's always complaining she can't open the hatch and never has enough room to walk in front of the car.  Having a baby bucket to unload doesn't make it any easier.  I never thought our garage was small, but it's not overly large either...

It's a losing battle..  I can't win this one.  The S2000 is almost touching the other side of the garage - I have it parked in the other spot - but even given all the room she's got she still has spatial issues.  She used to nose in when she had the Impreza, but I've caught her opening her drivers door into my door, so that's not going to work either.

Minivan with sliding doors. Doesn't help the length issue though. Damn garages keep getting smaller and the vehicles keep getting bigger.

It is a never ending battle in my household. If she doesn't move far enough up then the garage door hinges hit the bumper. If she moves too far forward you cant walk in front of the vehicle..

Hmm, I might be able to move the garage door closing sensor so the "beam" coincides with the furthest the bumper protrudes.

Then rig it so it sticks out a bit to give her an extra 1-2" clearance..  or something.
