Or he could have done it my way. Drive to daughter's house, parked behind
the (closed) garage door. Wife says, "You know your daughter... we're going
to baby sit while she goes to town so maybe you should park over a lane." I
just backed up 2 car lengths (long driveway) to give her time to see and
avoid. The daughter - who apparently relies on a fancy rear radar system
that apparently doesn't work - managed to whack our bumper. Her bumper was
unhurt. $800 later.......

Next time over I parked down the block. And then complained loudy about the
long walk. :)
