Man I wish I had a garage!

Mine is hinged at the back. When I remove the trunk nuts, I can flip it back and it lays flat on the ground. An old blanket on the ground is nice. Then I can unbolt the support frame from the bumper.

With yours, I'm thinking you could have it on the car with a full tank of gas (most weight), then back into the garage. Build a wheeled cart out of 2x4s that supports the tail near the front and back. Pad the supports with an old blanket or something if you'd like. Then you can remove it, and install it later, with a lot less effort. And store it out of the way easier too.
