If only it were that simple!
I currently have to move the wife's car off the drive and find somewhere else to park it, get my car out of the garage and find somewhere to park that, then put here car back on the drive before getting back into mine again.

Maybe I could install a 4 post lift on my drive too and hook it up to the electric door control. Then all I need to do is press a button to open the door and raise her car into the air so I can drive out underneath it

Grounds for divorce !

Mine came back from her many shopping trips crying that someone had hit the car when she was out and done off but she had not seen them,went outside to see damage and she was really peeved when I said "must have been a quick wall to get away from you "as I rubbed off the brick dust,dozy mare !

Hahahaha, mine came back from the drive through car wash soaking wet and absolutely furious as her car window wouldn't shut after she started getting taken into the car wash. Rather than reversing out of the tracks, she sat there screaming getting washed, slapped, rinsed and waxed! I pissed myself laughing when she got home.

We went to the stables in our 3 week old brand new A6 a couple years back. (an automatic I may add). The wife reversed into the space, took the seatbelt off, opened the door and climbed out.....leaving the car in reverse without the handbrake on, with the engine running. I stood in astonishment as my pride and joy happily trundled backwards, breaking through a gate and driving itself across a field, backwards. if it wasn't for the grass bank at the other end of the field, I thing the car would of carried on until it ran out of diesel......... And all the wife was concerned about was the horses escaping!!!
