Garage Parking Aids?
Looking to pick up something to help my wife park the cars in the garage...anyone use either of these?

$26.99 - Laser Guided


$15.99 - Shank has these...more "manual" but still works...


We have cabinets in the front of the garage so I can't use the stoplight style ones...

TIA!

A buddy hung a pingpall ball from a string, all his wife has to do is pull up until it is at the windshield. Cheap and it works

I use the kids toys - when I run over two, I'm far enough in to close the door.

Tire cradles ( used so you don't get flat spots on your tires if you don't know what they are ) works great you know just how far to go when you drive up on them kill two birds with one stone.

I have laser- it's an accessory for my garage door opener.
Maybe I'll upgrade to a tractor beam.
