| I am one of those. My dually was my main vehicle for years so I always parked in the boonies- easy in and out. I have a VW Tiguan and now that I can park closer I am not in the habit of making note of where I parked. I usually just park in the boonies :). |

Location: Montana | I know where I park when I go to WalMart...waaaaay down at the end where I don't get door dinged, and I park cockeyed taking up to parking spaces so no one feels the need to park next to me. Also, I'm usually the only orange car in the parking lot...sometimes there is one or two others, but usually the only one.  |

| I always try to park by one of those buggy racks but sometimes I forget which door I went in so I guess i'm one of those. It is a scary feeling when you can't find your car. |

Yes! I have a bright red dually. I can find that sucker anywhere. I drive my daughters little Sebring and I'm S.O.L.  |

| I saw a commerical once for those little pocket voice recorders and it had a woman using it to find her car. I thought that that was hilarious...until I realized that it's an actual problem! I have to help my mom remember where she parked all the time.  |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | This posts reminds me of a funny story with my grandfather....
I was 16 and we went on a family trip to Disney Land. After a long day, we were heading out and down the row my grandfather thought the car was. I argued with him and swore it was the NOT the right row, he finally gave in and we continued are search elsewhere (and by that, "elsewhere" I mean where I thought the car was). An HOUR later we came pack to the original row we started in...........that's right- at the near end, sat grandpa's car. He was SO MAD!!!!! I mean MAD! Never did live that one down and he never did see the humor in it :)

| I always look to see the marker where I am parked because I am usually IN there so long, I will forget too! LOL (Then, I try to act "normal" when I am walking in the wrong direction - like I'm really just doing it for the exercise - oh, with my cart along)! |

I get a kick outta parking my dinged up pickup cockeyed across the spaces next to those cars... as close as I can get, hehehee... You're right, tho, it does make it easy to find. |

Location: NM...the Land of Manana | LOL, my little hooptie is pretty non-descript and the only time it would be worth 20,000 is if I got hit by a Fed-ex truck! Needless to say, I lose it all the time, even in my work parking lot. Thanks to my daughter bringing me back a Minnie Mouse antenna ornament from Disney Land it is now a liitle easier to spot! |

Location: Southwest Minnesota | Maybe that is why I have trouble remembering where I park...my vehicle is not worth $20000. I do always park by a cart corral if possible. |

Guilty as charged.
I always try to remote start and look for where ever vehicles are lighting up!
& I always try to park next to buggy holders. |
