I am going to have a MINI sized garage door installed that no ordinary car could possibly fit through.
MINI parking ONLY!

As long as it keeps out SUV's (like my dad's Escalade!) and anything much bigger than a VW Golf, it would be funny. But you are right, make it short too!

>>I like the way you think! Make the garage door in an only slightly larger, but identical silhouette as the MINI...heheheheheheheh...nothing else will fit!
I like that. The rear outline of the MINI cut into the door. Perfect. If I had nothing better to do with my money, I'd go with that.
While we're talking about parking MINI's, mine just about got 'violated' from the rear in a parking stall. Was parked in an angled line of parking stalls beside a jacked up Ram p/u truck. When I went into the stall, I went right up to the concrete block in front. Kinda leaving the MINI dwarfed and out of view from the truck. The rear of my MCS was only up to the trucks cab. Coming out of the store to see this car pull into my stall thinking there wasn't any cars parked in there, being that I was parked too far forward. Ooops. My MCS just about got rammed up the poop shute. Guess I'll have to be a little more cautious in the way I park. But both myself and the other driver had a small chuckle when she realized that there's a MINI parked in that stall already. Guess that's the price ya pay for driving a smaller car.

Madman,
I make it a point to not EVER pull all the way into the parking spot...want MINIclo to not get that, um, "ramming up the poop chute," as you so colorfully put it!
