Answer: My truck and my 11 yo son spotting for my while backing up.  My wife says I need to give him specific instructions. It never dawned on me to tell he needs to yell stop BEFORE I hit something. | ||

Yes but think of the fun you're going to have when the kid gets married and you show all the pics of the bloopers he made growing up..  | |||

Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise! | |||

After two times, I got tired of backing into my garage, into my reloading bench. Ouch, right rear taillight assembly at $150 each. I got one of those horse play balls and hung it from the ceiling. It bounces off my rear window when I'm too close to the bench. | |||

I had never heard of a "horse play ball." Googled, found them on Amazon. I have seen your solution but with a plain old cheap tennis ball. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Pointless Dent Repair should be able to push that out for far, far less than $1,000.

that was just plain unexpected and outright funny. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Actually, you don't have to. Your job as dad is to explain it to them. Then they can do as they please. But if you put your dirty underies back on, you didn't take the shower. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Half of the bill is for painting because it's white pearl. The scratch goes to bare metal. That plastic rail cap needs to come off for painting and they tend to break, so that's another $160. I wish it had been the taillight. Heck, I wish it happened two years ago when I could have bought a whole new take off bed for $1,000. I can get a brand new 2017 take off bed with taillights for $1,000, but it won't fit with out modification and it won't match the cab. I'm going to explain to him that this will be his truck in 5 years and if he doesn't want a POS, he'd better start taking care of it now. | |||

Here's a decent solution to garage parking. I used the tennis balls before but having to place them kinda low hanging to hit my windshield in the middle of the garage, plus when the car wasn't in the garage I inadvertently ripped it down one night when I ran into it in a hurry, I purchased this as a solution. First off, it goes up in the front of the garage and doesn't hang from the roof, plus it has two LED lights that blink brightly at day/night when you hit the fiberglass mounting rod. When I tap it and the LED's alert, I just place my car in neutral and let it slowly roll a tad back to let the pole stabilize and the LED's will stop blinking. I've had mine now for over a year and the LED's still flash on the same battery. In the photo you can see I marked the floor with a marker in case the signal gets bumped and I can replace it back to the ideal location for my car. For a pick-up I see they have a taller pole mount but I'd suppose that you could raise it on a small box or foundation if you didn't want to pay the up-charge for the longer pole. I can't tell you how many times I've saved my front bumper from hitting the storage box in front of my car in the garage. At night, it's the perfect ticket! Here's a link with a video and my photo of the base I marked on the floor for orientation. >>>>LINK LED Stop Sign For Garage Parking  Regards, Will G. | |||

I tried a tennis ball, but it is not loud enough. I usually see the tennis balls in use where people park front-in in the garage. You can see it hitting your front windshield. The horse ball makes a nice hollow "thunk thunk" and gets my attention, when I am not looking at it. | |||
