My Dad did the same thing so he wouldn't pull in too far and block the
refrigerator door from opening, or not pull in far enough and block
the garage overhead door from closing. Come to think of it, Dad had
problems with doors in general.

Hood ornament? Was this a 1970s car?

My 1997 Mercedes had a hood ornament - the stand-up kind.
