Ack!!! Foiled!!!!

[Logan]

I just got home from Detroit...

Everything was going just fine. Opened the garage door, folded the mirrors in (Pain, but Okay...), drove the truck in...

Get out of the truck, dum dee dum... Walk around to go inside...

Notice butt-end of the truck is still outside the damn garage...

Ruh roh... :bigcry:

Walk around front of truck... Uh... Ruh roh. :bigcry:

GOD DAMN TRUCK DOESN'T FIT IN MY GARAGE... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Well... Not entirely true. It will if I remove some of the 3ft lip at the head of the garage... Now all I have to do is find a concrete cutter...

Sigh... It's a rough life. :bandit:

Now thats funny!

[Tallboy]

Would backing it in help? [The bed would be over the raised area?]

[Agent M79]

I know your pain.

17' 6" Car. 17' 2" Garage.

Time to move.

No problem, I'll just bring my '02 Short bed F-150 Sport 4x4 down and we can swap. It'll fit in your garage very nicely. It looks just like your old Lightning, only it's got a 5sp. (Just put a new set of Bridgestone Dualer Riva's on it, and will throw 'em in with the deal. :D

It's good to see the boss sometimes has the same troubles as we mere mortals...

:lol: :lol: :lol: OOPS... :run:

[TripleTransAm]

Heh heh heh .... you need the Garage From Hell!!!

I know, there are much bigger out there than mine. Size doesn't matter... it's what you use it for. :)

[Tallboy]

After careful consideration, I think it's entirely possible I hate Steve even more than I hate Logan.:D

[Marauder2005]

Damn you TransAm and your big, big.........big garage :(

[Mike Poore]

Yeh, and who painted that big f'n chicken on his hood? :rofl:

[Vortex]

I wanted an extended cab truck and the only two (Ford/Chevy/GMC/Dodge)that would fit in the garage were the Ford with the 5' box and the Dodge Quadcab with a 6' box. I think most garages around here are 19'6" deep. Didnt like the Ford and went with the Dodge. I have to basically tap the sheetrock at one end (I hung a "warning" tennis ball) and the rear bumper clears by about an inch, maybe two. Tight fit with my other two cars..

[MarauderMark]

Maybe an elevator to the bat cave may be in order.:D

[Todd]

Thats the only way I could get my truck to fit (without taking a couple tries pulling it in forward. If I was off a little the door wouldnt close...)


I had a new body style 2004 F150 crew cab 4x4 lariat. Backing it in worked like a champ. Just watched the reverse lights in the mirror till the reflection on the wall looked a certain way. Parked 6 inches away from the wall every time.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO DAMNED BRILLIANT MY MAN!!! I'm running out to the garage now!!

[CRUZTAKER]

Now thats funny!

Me agreeing with you is funny.

THAT is frigin priceless. :baaa:

[Dr Caleb]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO DAMNED BRILLIANT MY MAN!!! I'm running out to the garage now!!

When he comes back in, we'll tell him it'll fit sideways.

:lol: :lol:

Thanks for the laugh BTW ;) Funniest thread in a while.

[Logan]

Curiously, my first thought when the truck wouldn't fit, was... "Damn, now I have to buy a new house..."

That Tallboy is brilliant. After many crazy ass conflagurations, the truck is now in the garage with .5 inch in the rear to spare and 1.5 inches between the truck and the garage door.

Good thing the truck isn't going to be the daily driver...

[DEFYANT]

OK, I dont "LOL" often about internet stuff... but that is funny.

Well.... did it fit backwards?

[DEFYANT]

Well.... did it fit backwards?

........... Good:D

[Mad4Macs]

Just wait, sometime next week, he'll be telling us how he backed it through the wall :D

[SergntMac]

What's the problem, boss? Not enough smoke and mirrors?

I had your problem myself not long ago, but I spent some coins on some smoke, and got this...

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/showimage.php?i=235&catid=newimages

Y'all know how much room a Marauder needs to live a fulfilled life, and this won't cut it. But, no sweat here 'cause I spent some more coins on mirrors too, and got this...

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/showimage.php?i=234&catid=newimages

Seems to me y'all need to spend some more coins on smoke and mirrors, 'cause y'all gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Who's that old guy in that pic?

[SergntMac]

Who's that old guy in that pic? Hehehe..."Old".

LOL..."Old" is it? I can still out drive you, my friend. Around here, I'm called a "driver". If there is something to move and it has wheels, they "call a driver." Me.

I'll have you know that I've been twisting Panther frames since before they had that name. I got my first Ford police car back in '80, my last Ford police car is parked just a few feet away right now, but outside. Gimme something to drive, and we can have some fun.

But, yeah.

I am old.

No problems.

I had my fun running bad guys into the ground...




Doesn't seem that easy anymore, bro...Watch your back, eh?

Did you try backing it it? I don't know what truck you have but sometimes the "overhang" is longer in the back... and you can get more truck over the front lip by backing in.


----oooops now I've read the whole thread and see that Tallboy already mentioned backing it in.....

Glad it fits... what IS it?

[2003 MIB]

She's beautiful, Boss! I'm jealous as Hell...:bows:

[MAD-3R]

Ok, Time for a North Texas meet, and Logan to bring that Truck up. The Wife will want to see it.

Damn, and I thought that what you did best was piss people off. Great call. See you soon, Pal. Dennis:beer:

So is that why you have a windsheild banner with your name on it? So you don't forget what car in the parking lot is yours???












lol j/k
:lol:

And yes I know very well who and what Kenny Brown is. Just ask Haggis!

[twolow]

Logan,

My moms garage was just barely big enough for her car and was always worried she would hit the wall so I parked her car inside and then hung a string from the ceiling with a small weight at the bottom. I lined it up so when she pulls in and the weight taps her windshield she knows she is in far enough and to stop. No more trying to judge distance or do a walk around and then get back in to correct yourself.

You might want to do this so you can back in without your blood pressure rising.

[Cheeseheadbob]

I have seen a tennis ball used at the end of a string, less dings on the windshield.

[bigslim]

It works fine until a windy day.

[BruteForce]

I use a dealiebob that lights up like a traffic light (green then yellow then red) as I approach the wall. I think its called "Park Zone" or some such.

You and your damned bright ideas. I almost had me a brande new Trilogy powered F-150 Harley Davidson, and all I had to do was drive my '02 Short Bed Lightning look-alike down there, and it was a done deal. But, NOOOoooooooooooooooo, who has to tell him to turn the *%$#^% truck around? :cheesed:

Yeah, I'm thinkin' I probably would've figured it out on my own eventually... :)

Oh, you're not to blame; sooner or later, his wife would have told him what to do. ;)

[txkent]

Reminds me of my younger days doing punch out work for a builder (putting switch plates on, doing paint touch-ups etc...) and this retired Air Force Colonel buys a house from the company and I'm there doing the final walkthru when he comes blasting in yelling at my brother (who was the division manager of the homebuilding company). Seems that the guy has an early 70's Caddy, and it's a full 2' longer than the garage.

To appease him, they built an extension on the garage for his beloved baby blue caddy with it's white leather interior. It only came up about 4' and had it's own little roof on it.

This guy was so anal, when he did his walkthrough, he requested that all screw heads be perfectly horizontal. I thought he was joking and suggested that they be vertical so they didn't collect dust. He agreed and requested that instead. :lol:
