Do you park your vehicle straight into your garage or back in?

-----It is the build up of CO ( carbon monoxide ) that is the silent killer.----Not CO2

yeah my fingers sometimes type what they want not what I'm thinking.

 

[Earl Cordova]

What does everyone think? Am I being paranoid?

IMO, Yes.

 

[poconojoe]

Well inside like that, they should run lp lifts, or electric. I believe OSHA requires it.

Yeah, you would think in a big unionized city like NY things like that wouldn't happen.

 

[flashback]

Guess you could put an exhaust fan in like we have in bathrooms and our I/O bilge blowers.

I think it's easier to back out than to back in. I see no reason to back in anyway unless I was a 1st responder... Mines attached...

I thought I'd mention I also use an inexpensive sensor device that has two sensors and a bright red LED display that's mounted to the back wall of the garage.
It displays the measurement between the vehicle and the wall. When pulling in, it flashes at the previous measurement I was parked at. I have the two sensors pointing at the truck's front bumper.
I keep the bumper 14 inches from the wall which gives me 2 inches for the rear bumper to clear the overhead door. Yeah, it's a full sized Silverado and the fit is tight, but I hate cleaning mounds of snow off my truck.

Yep, that was my first thought. Then I saw the sensor device.

When I had a garage I always pulled in. Now where I live no garage so I like to back into my parking slot. Much easier pulling out than backing out and easier to see any other moving vehicles.

Cars nowa days are so well tuned Co poisoning in a ventilated area is not very common, Diesel engines on the other hand.............

I do the same thing when I don't park in the garage.

I am a first responder … time leaving is more important … I have painted lines on floor to hit to keep me backing into the same spot. Garage is under the house, but never worry about the CO because if the vehicle is on, the garage door is open.

I tried backing into my garage a time or two but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I don't really have a need to leave in a hurry and, in any case, backing out at my place is generally not very dramatic. I suppose if my condo caught fire I'd want to get out in a hurry but as an old trucker, I can go backwards pretty fast.
