Cheap, simple, and does the job.,
The title says it all. Personally, I hate hanging things from the ceiling in my garage. Whenever you take the cars out, they end up getting in the way and being a real annoyance if you are trying to do other work in the garage.
This items is relatively inexpensive and does exactly what I needed it to. I bought two of these to allow my wife and I to maximize the amount of space of our garage, while still comfortably parking our cars in it.
I tried several other items, which all were fairly unreliable. I even tried the “stop light” one, just to see if I could have something on the wall in front to do the trick. No dice. It was unreliable too. This item is 100% reliable. You can always see the sign move when you hit it, even if the lights don’t blink. Plus, the base doesn’t move or slide, so you don’t have to worry about it moving and messing up your parking spot. At the same time, you can pick it up and easily move it out of the way if needed.

|Easy solution,
I have a tight fitting garage. I have to park my riding lawnmower in front of my SUV. I need to pull up pretty close to the mower so that the garage door will come down without hitting the car.
The first things I tried were the tire stop parking mats. I wanted to be able to move them when I need to get the mower out, so I didn’t stick them to the floor with tape. They tended to slide around on the garage floor or be bumped by one of the kids while I was out. To make matters worse, I couldn’t really trust them because I couldn’t tell from the driver’s seat if they were positioned properly. Being off by 2-3 inches might mean hitting into the mower.
The Park n’ Place is really a simple solution. It sits right beside my mower. I can tell from the driver’s seat if the sign looks out of place as I am entering the garage. Just pull up until the sign moves a little. The sign is easily visible about the hoods of our Honda Pilot and Honda Odyssey. Also, I can easily move it out of the way each week to get the mower out.
The sign is supposed to flash lights when it gets bumped. I am rating it at 4 stars because the lights are unreliable. They may or may not flash depending on how hard you bump the pole. If your bumper just gently touches the pole, they may not light up, but a harder bump will set them off. It serves the purpose even without the lights. You can see the sign move and that is enough to know that you are in the right place.

|Works as expected,
I bought this item so I could easily move it out of the way when necessary and it wouldn’t sllip on the surface as I had read the drive-over bumpers would. For me the lights seem pointless since it sways when you bonk it, but that wouldn’t alter my reccomending it to others. It works as advertised and assembles quickly and easily.
