You already identified it, in effect, that if the frames disagree whether 
the car fits, relativity is falsified. As I see it, there's a hard fact -- 
whether the car fits or not -- and I've shown that relativity gives 
contradictory answers. IMO, it's deceptive to formulate the problem in such 
way as to require disagreements about simultaneity to "resolve" the 
contradiction. BTW, I don't agree with Jesse, the physics allow for such 
ambiguities. AG
