A shop I had at one point when we were racing stock cars had a bit of a down slope into the work bays. The doors were split in the middle and opened outward, with a hump at the bottom of the doors.
One time we had an on track mishap that resulted in a brake line being severed, among other things. I repaired the damage while the car was on the trailer, and then intended to park the car outside one pair of doors in front of the shop.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
