This Tennis Ball Garage Hack Is Blowing People's Minds And It Costs Basically Nothing

One tiny addition to your garage solves a problem you didn't know had a solution.

Pulling into a tight garage is a daily game of guessing exactly when to hit the brakes, and getting it wrong means either a dinged bumper or a car parked halfway out.

The old-school fix that's going viral again is almost too simple: hang a tennis ball on a string from the ceiling so it just touches your windshield when the car is perfectly parked.

Now every time you pull in, you stop when the ball taps the glass. No more crunched storage bins at the front wall, no more awkward re-parking, and no expensive laser sensors needed.

While you're up there, a pool noodle split down the middle and stuck along the wall protects your doors from dings when you swing them open in a narrow space. Two cheap fixes, one very happy garage.
