Default Wife cant park

So after I go the new C6 last week, I parked one on either side of the driveway, and she was always parking to close to one side or the other. So today I painted lines.

I agree. That is a narrow space.

It is 7ft wide and she drives a Honda Civic. She parked right between the lines when she got home. 😁

I'm curious why you can't park something of worth in the two-car garage on the right?

You must spend a lot of time making sure your cars are pristine every time you park them and cover them up.

my garage is a shop, metal/wood work, Cnc. We’re looking to move in a few years, will find a place that has more shop/ garage space. The C4 on the right is up for sale. C6 seats, C5 exhaust. Around 11k into it right now.

Glad to see my wife isn't the only one who can't park.

hopefully she hasn’t totaled two cars. I bought her the car she is driving now after she tangled with a k rail a couple years ago. She thinks she is Mario Andretti.

Mine has a similar issue. After every dent, scrape, damaged wheel I hear "I didn't do it on purpose".

She tends to drive everything like its an Abrams M1.

One would hope she did not do it on purpose!
