But in the garage's system the car is contracting!! Brent Correct. So garage and car are both contracting by the same gamma function, and the car still won't fit in the garage. Why then is the "solution" started with the car perfectly fitting in the garage? And if the velocity is high enough, from the pov of the garage, the car will eventually fit, thus yielding the contradiction of the car not fitting in the car's frame, but fitting in the garage's frame.
