About
Tracey and Aaron now have their stop signs set up in the garage. They are placed in front of the car so when you pull in and nudge the sign with the bumper the sign starts flashing red. They tell me these things work fine for getting the car into the garage without crashing into all the other stuff we have crammed in there. Tracey found these handy little gadgets on Amazon.com.
