Mounted a rearview mirror on the sidecar so B can see where we have been.

What did you do in your garage today..?

- Start date
Is that an OEM item or some aftermarket?
Aftermarket. Raceway makes Ural parts exclusively.
Zumo XT install on the SAR. Some plastic removal to hardwire but that went pretty easy. My OCD doesn’t like the silver screws that come with the Zumo to mount it to the base so that might change.
My openers have a red laser light that shines down; it turns on when the door opens. Pull in, aim the light at something on the dash. Remember that spot. The benefit is you don't whack yourself in the head, get bit or tangled with the dangling vampire.I got tired of my wife parking by brail against my new stool. No way to see it over the hood. I added a dangling vampire so she pulls into until the vampire touches the glass. Stool is now safe.
Opener is well behind her window, laser would be a glancing blow. I would try it if I had it though. This opener came with the house. It will get replaced at some point with a jackshaft opener to free up height for a two-post. That won't have a laser either. Her car is there most of the winter so vampire isn't in the way. Easy to swing it out of the way if the car is missing and vampire annoys me. Vampire is light and squishy so no harm if you run into it. I was planning on using a tennis ball but I came across a vampire first.
Some kook invented this stuff he called wire. You can put the light anywhere. What make is your opener? Mine's at around 10 o'clock in the photo, a good six feet ahead of the opener.
Got it. When you said they have a laser, I assumed that it was built into the body. Separate laser makes sense.Some kook invented this stuff he called wire. You can put the light anywhere. What make is your opener? Mine's at around 10 o'clock in the photo, a good six feet ahead of the opener.
Ohh.... The things they invent for women.There's also proximity sensors like this:
Simple is better in this case. There is stuff along that wall including a tool box. Vampire puts her in the right spot and cost nothing.There's also proximity sensors like this:

Wait until she backs inI got tired of my wife parking by brail against my new stool. No way to see it over the hood. I added a dangling vampire so she pulls into until the vampire touches the glass. Stool is now safe.
I used to have her back in. It was better. Door is really tight and it didn't always work out. About an inch on each side of her mirrors to clear the frame. I gave up on the fight and now she drives in and backs out.Wait until she backs in
So glad my 2 car garage doesn’t actually fit a single car…
That was my original plan. I didn't want to bolt it down though and figured it would creep forward (and be an annoying trip hazard when car was out). I kick the cars out for the summer but for us, it makes sense to have them inside most of the time in the winter.
