The garage man took a snapshot at the instant he saw BOTH the garage doors were closed, and it clearly shows the car was entirely in the garage. But the car driver also took a snapshot at the instant he saw BOTH the garage doors were closed, and it clearly shows the car had left the garage. With just length contraction you have a profound logical paradox. With length contraction AND time dilation you just have an odd situation.* Odd situation? Is that a technical term? What's the logical paradox, that the car doesn't fit in both frames? If they did, then you'd have a huge problem with the LT and SR.
