Don,
Yes, pushing my car is very difficult.
For moving it in the garage, have you thought about the "skates" that Harbor
Freight sells. You can get 4 for less than $100 when on sale. They are
metal
platforms with 4 castors on each platform. You put one under each wheel and
can push the car any place you want to.
