Any idea how to keep from getting too close to the concrete tire stop? The front end has gotten trapped on top again!  
  
 I have to get out of the car to get it off.

Try not parking so close to the tire stop.

Maybe a pair of those Curb Feelers attached, at an angle, to the front air dam?

You need to learn where the front of your car is so that you can position it by eye rather than by feel. A GTO is worth the effort. It’s the nicest car Pontiac has ever built.
