PRODUCT REVIEW
Car accidents in the garage occur more frequently than you might think. If you're like my family, you have a garage full of stuff. We have the recycle bin and lawnmower in front of our car and lots of yard tools, 2 bikes, flower pots, and an outdoor fireplace on either side of the car. As you can imagine, we've hit almost everything in the garage once...some things more than once. It's not that we're bad drivers, we just don't have a guide to tell us when to stop.
The Parking Target (made in the USA) is simply amazing! It provides "same place garage parking every time" without the hassle of seeing a tennis ball hanging from the wall or a sign in front of my car that says stop. It's so great because it's so simple! All you do is park your vehicle in the desired spot in the garage, mark the floor, clean the area, peel and stick the Parking Target to the floor and put pressure on it for a minute or so. Voila! You can't beat this for accurate parking every time.
The Parking Target is also great for stopping directly over your oil catcher. We use a piece of cardboard and I'm 99% sure that we never hit it since we're always parking too far to the left or right of it. Now, with the Parking Target in place, we haven't missed it once and I've been actually thinking of buying something to catch the dripping oil. I love this product and you will too!
NOTE: This will NOT stop your car from rolling down a hill. It is not meant to be used as a tire block or tire stopper!
If you run a business, you can get the Parking Targets made with custom labels with your company logo or name on the decals. These would make a great Trade Shows or Promotional item. I've been thinking about giving these away to my business colleagues for Christmas presents...how useful!

If you had ever seen my mom park you wouldn't ask why I want to win.
She has absolutely no sense of when to stop. An example, she pulls into a parking space and stops, then I say "Mom, you need to
back up about 5 feet, you're not in the space."

I'd like to win this because after six years of renting and not having a garage to park in, we're finally getting our own house, and so I'll need lots of help on how to park the car in the garage since I've never had to do that before.

This would be FANTASTIC for me! Right now, I have a wooden board on the garage floor where I'm supposed to park. But it moves around & I'm constantly putting it back where it's supposed to be. I love that this Parking Target sticks to the floor!

I would like to win this giveaway because my soon-to-be 4-year-old now can reach the hanging ping-pong ball that I use to park properly. It is often misplaced, and when it is located often has to be moved just a little due to the ceiling holes getting stripped out. We're running out of ceiling...we need a better solution!

This would be great because I live with my elderly mother. I complain she parks too close to the garage door. She says I park too close to the washing machine! This way we'd never have that discussion again!

nice reminder to avoid hitting things
Would be great for having in our garage. It's so hard backing in and not being able to judge the distance.
