I agree, Patrick is rude. 
And he makes at least a few large assumptions, which are:
a) rolling your car back and forth will reduce or eliminate the flat spots, since it's highly likely that your Cobra will end up at rest in the exact same spot,
2) the garage door has to be opened and closed, unless you have a Garage Mahal, but first the cars in front of the garage have to be moved in order to get a little rolling distance, the emergency brake has to be released and and reset, so we're talking about a 30-60 minute job, and
ii) if you have a polished aluminum body, then there's another 30 minutes to several hours of re-polishing the areas where you put your oily hands.  |

Let's have a little geometry quiz. If you have a circle, with a diameter of 26 inches, and you want to rotate it one quarter of the total circumference, how far will that be? What about rotating it twice that (exactly half). If you can figure this one out, I'll buy you a slice of pi.  |

20.4, 40.8"
Misread, thought you wanted 1/4,1/2 of the area.
Now I see its 1/4,1/2 of the circumference.

A+ and even that puss-arm RodKnock can push his car twenty inches. |

I am not sure about your weather there, but I check my air pressure several times each Winter as they tires tend to lose some when not being driven quite a bit. And I even have enough room on my Kwil Lift ramps to move the car back and forth about 2 feet.

Well, for example, I don't have 20 inches of free space in my garage and you certainly would need additional free space in order to create a safe distance between what's stored in front of my Cobra and the garage door. And once you have the garage door open, I don't want my Cobra rolling into the car(s) parked outside the garage door. 
And there's no proof that there STILL wouldn't be flat-spotting after all that work.
"Puss-arm"? While I've never heard that phrase before, actually quite the opposite, how much can you snatch, squat, clean & jerk and deadlift? And don't even talk to me, if you can't lift your own body weight. 
How many HSPU's can you do? I'll let you look that acronym up. |
