DUMB "Park Smart" garage floor pad

wrickem · 06-06-2009, 04:35 PM

Today when I was backing my 328xi out of the garage, I felt it "drag" like the brakes were sticking a bit. I looked down, the e-brake looked alright so I just figured that the brakes were sticking since I parked it wet a couple of days ago. I backed up out of the garage and when I looked forward, my garage pad was missing from the floor! I shut the car off and jumped out and saw the whole 20' x 8' pad was wrapped around my drivers wheel!

It took 2 hours to get it unwrapped

. Luckily, it didn't damage anything

I've been using this "Park Smart" brand of pad for over 7 years and it's never done anything like this before, I guess a squashed worm or something else sticky stuck my tire to the pad. This pad was about 6 months old, so it wasn't brand new OR old. So if you use this type of pad, don't let your guard down!

What's the point of a garage pad in the first place?

It keeps my wood garage floor from getting wet and it has hoses around it to contain the water. My garage is one of those Amish built buildings, delivered on a truck. The messed up thing is the whole thing sits on a concrete slab.

I was wondering who stole my box of huge condoms! Stop using them for your car and give them back! You know, you can't just get them in any CVS.

My apologies to the OP, but that is the funniest thing I've seen all week. I got a big chuckle out of that! The stupid crap they sell "as seen on TV"

Glad nothing was broken, I have to say, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the pic.

lkn · 06-07-2009, 04:11 AM

I hope you no longer use the same solution to park your car in the garage

DrunkOnJ20 · 06-07-2009, 09:48 AM

It's a flawed concept...

JayKay335i · 06-07-2009, 11:31 AM

Wow. I've never seen anything like that to park your car on before. Nail the damn thing down.
