As to the length of garage being insufficient for the car and not the car
being too long for said housing, I offer an alternative approach.  Although
fitting Concord engines may seem ridiculous and building a ramp that can
swing the car up and back into a hypotenuse position, Pythagoras style, the
cheapest thing to do is modify the garage door so that it clears that front
or rear of the car in the shape of the car.  This means a fibreglass
protrusion into the space before the garage, something that remains after
closure.  The only concern, assuming this is a side or above swinging door,
is that said extension to the lower half of the door, will not foul on the
roof or side walls.   The difficult bit will be explaining to visitors and
any buyers of your house why your garage door has a lower "pregnant" bulge.
