- Two cheaper suggestions:
- 1) Place old tires in front of the wall so your car nudges the tires, and you
- know when to stop.
-
- 2) Suspend a fishing bobber on a string from the ceiling at the point you wish
- your car to stop. Line it up with your hood ornament, or hood edge, so that when
- your car touches the bobber, you know you've pulled in far enough.
-
- More expensive suggestion:
- Call your local formed-concrete company.

- Good Luck,
- Ron
