Garages

Fistville · #1 01-10-2003, 12:27 AM

Do you guys have any trouble parking your h2 in your garage. I have an old house which has a 3 car garage that has 3 seperate doors but they are all open on the inside and a 2 car garage with 1 door. The 2 car is plenty wide but too short for the car. The stalls were designed for carraiges so were not talking huge space. Are there serious problems with parking outside? I can fit it in the 3 car but it takes about 10 minutes and we had to install a mirror so that I could see the right side of the car to fit in. And the first time i hit the crossbars on the ceiling, after some adjustments it works. I need to convince my dad its ok for me to park it outdoors,(my parents are trying to find a way to take my baby away) do you know of any serious problems or is it ok?

Its OK to park outside and besides an H2 parked outside will improve the looks of anybodys house.

Which I had this for my first ride. Better than a 71 Nova.

I have an old house, and the garage was also built for a carriage. I had to take the roof cross bars off, and I get about two inch clearance on both sides pulling in (with mirros folded in). The neighbors love to watch me pull it in. It doesn't look like it will fit, but does.

After pulling it in a few times with help and going very slow, it is now much faster. I don't have to lean out the window to make sure I am lined up ok any more when I pull it in.
Partice make perfect.

jesus christ, is's just a VEHICLE. Of course you can park it outside, it's not going to melt.

Believe it or not, and this really is true, but MOST cars are actually left ouside, and not stored in garages.

Does it bother anyone else that his "parents" will take it away? I wonder who's paying for it.

No kidding, huh? I noticed that also.

I wish MY parents would buy me a 55k vehicle.

He says it's his first ride...I wonder if the plate reads "SPOILED" ?

Park outside (unless you live in East Oakland) - problem solved.

Come on, there is nothing wrong with your parents buying you an H2... My trust fund bought me one

Does the Air-suspension make a difference on whether they fit in garages or not?

Thanks,

Clay

Clay, air-suspension shouldn't make a noticable difference on height for garage clearance.

BTW, I guess you guys successfully ran of Fistville. He will probably re-register with a new name and never mention daddy again.

Oh I'm not run off. I just find it funny when people insult those who are fortunate. As if they would hate themself if it was them. But thank you for the informations guys...those who were helpful.

I do appreciate and understand the above comments. I had no intention of bragging in any way whatsoever, nor flaunting. I simply stated a questions because I am not one with infinite years of experiance, and I have been in fued with my family about whether or not it is alright to leave a car outside and I decided to ask my question to a group of people who I believed knowledgeable for evidence to present an argument. Comment understood and not taken as agressive in anyway Phil, and I truely appreciate the way you presented it in a logical and truthful way.

To tell you the truth im not sure of the name of mine. I bought it from an electronic store named abt for about 900 and they installed it, so that the picture appears in the rearview mirror. The fact that the screen is normaly on the reflective surface of the mirror makes it so the two images can become confused and it is very difficult to use. I think it was a waste of money and would not suggest it. From what ive seen the screens mounted seperatly or in the dash are far superior and I will most likely change mine to one of those if the need arises. I am taking the car in for the xm to be fixed this thursday and I will ask for what brand the camera is.

Hey Fist,

I had a rough run during my first 5 years in business. The last 2 have been very prosperous.

Looking back, parents to help me would have been great but I do appreciate things now that I have them.

You are one of the fortunate ones, and I think and I know I would have loved to be in your shoes then (when I was having canned dinner in my 76 honda).

In my opinion, take full advantage of your fortune but always appreciate it ( and I think you do). Never take anything for granted, it could all dissappear in a snap.

But whenever anybody critcizes you, ignore.......

CUZ YOU GOT YER FRICKEN HUMMER!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAA!
