Eugene (59) parks his car in a narrow garage (1.2 inches to spare on each side). Wait till you see how he gets out of the car. Translation below.



"Well, first I have to move my bike outside, otherwise I cannot get in. My car is 1 meter and 49 centimetres wide. And there, inside, its 1 meter 55. So I have 6 centimetres to spare, 3 centimetres this side and 3 centimetres on the other side." -- "Here on the side, I put up some little sponges to prevent me driving into the wall, because I only have that much (shows 3 centimetres) left. I do not want to drive into the wall. Thats why I put it up there, and also on the other side." -- "Well, now I am going to drive it inside." (starts car, bends the mirror inwards)" -- "Now I open this door to be able to open car door by pushing it in there. Then I have to drive backwards and then I can get out. You see, I stop the engine, I get out and then push the car forwards so it is inside (the garage). I push it forwards to where it belongs. Now the car is in its place. I close the car door, I close this door too and then I put my two chairs in front of it and everything is back in its place. See!"
 
In Germany, they use every little space they can. I remember when I lived there, we parked in a parking garage. We drove a little 1985 BMW 318i. Before I parked the car n the space, I had to get my wife and kids out. Then I put the car in the space then got out myself. I had to squeeze out the door. As we were walking out, my wife and I had to walk crouched the whole time since the ceiling was so low. She is 6' tall and I am 6'3". After that experience, we paid close attention to where we parked our car.
