That's not even a correct statement of the paradox. You make
the car fit the the garage /*in the garage frame*/ by speeding
the car up so the car is Lorentz contracted (I really liked
the original tank trap version better). Brent
*I just noticed your comment. Sure, I didn't use the words "Lorentz
contracted", but does anyone doubt this is what I meant? Is it really
worth trying to crucify me for a minor oversight in language? I guess
the answer for you is affirmative. AG

That's not the error. The error is that you wrote that idea is to speed
the car up so that in the frame the care the garage is contracted to
make it fit.
