Drove into my girlfriend's (now wife) covered parking at her old apt. Luckily no one was around to laugh.....or see my tears after ruining my towers... :cry: but at least my bike was fine :rolleyes:

One way of avoiding driving into your own garage with a bike on the roofrack is to fill up your garage with other bikes. Then you will have no place to park your car inside. Problem solved. :D

At the risk of drawing ILTB's incessant wrath, dump the car. j/k

You could do what I have, let your sister in-law move in with her boyfriend and 2 kids. Then they put all their junk in the garage and you have to use the driveway. Sorry if I sound bitter. :p

Rule #1: Bike on car, garage door opener goes in the trunk.

HAHAHAH, thanks that is the first time I have laughed in quite a while!

Unfortunately, some vehicles have the opener built into the dash or mirror. I s'pose you could always stick a post-it note over the button, tho. :p
