Default the LC is WIDE

i have a 3 car garage... the typical '2 car' (big door) and '1 car' (small door).
have parked 2 cars in the 2 car side for years. it's a bit tight opening coupe doors when in there, but doable.
the 1 car side is TIGHT, or feels that way when i've used it, even when i had a miata!!!
so today i was looking at the widths:

widths (inches):
2007 miata (nc) 67.7
2014 camry 71.7
2016 infiniti q60 71.8
2021 santa fe 74.8
2021 lc500 75.6"

not sure which if any of the stated widths are with mirrors folded in or not. the miata, camry and q60 don't have motorized folding mirrors

i'll post some pics later of my fun with the garage...

One option is to hang from the rafters a cord with a foam pad attached. It will give way it you walk past or bump, but will be in position to pad any contact point of the particular car parked there normally. If by a wall, then it can just be attached to the wall.

You should try parking Aventador SVJ in a 2-car garage... 83” wide (mirrors folded). At least the doors aren’t an issue 😉.

My 2006 Hummer H1 was 86-1/2 inches wide. I even had challenges in public parking. Needless to say, it stayed parked outside with a cover.
