Default Teaching the wife how to park...

Okay, anyone else have this problem?

I park my Cobra by backing into the garage and justifying toward the side of the garage. The objective is plenty of room between my Cobra and the Tahoe that my wife drives.

Since I started doing this, my wife parks carelessly in the garage, leaving less space between the Cobra and the Tahoe than between the Tahoe and the wall on the other side (nobody gets out on that side)---and I now I have less space between my Cobra and the Tahoe.

Women always want us to talk, but strangely enough, they don't seem to hear you when you point out the obvious problem.

Now, on the cherry picker, directly in front of the Tahoe parking spot now hangs a cardboard sign with spray-painted letters and a huge duct-tape arrow. The sign reads, "KIM PARK ------------>".

This hasn't worked. She still justifies left, toward the Cobra.

Do I have to take her car keys away?

Do all women suffer from this malady?

Anything I can use to retrain her, short of a dog shock-collar?
