- or just slow to < 5mph and drive in til you hit the wall. besides getting
- you real close to the wall, this keeps the shocks behind the front bumper
- limber :). not recommended for weak garage walls or cars with airbags.
-
- or just learn where your bumper is. i can usually put the bumper within 2
- inches of something (without first hitting it :) and i drive an old impala.
