It is super easy for me, because the truck has a topper that I chose to not only be a different color from the truck, it is also medium dark while the truck is silver. Contrast of lightness and darkness alone is obvious. Most truck owners match colors, making it look like an SUV.
I also have a rare bumper sticker.
If there were no topper in it I would look for the cargo that I always carry, along with whatever else I put in there that day.
I have a hard time imagining any situation where there would be 25-50 yellow FJ Cruisers parked together. There probably aren't 25-50 in the entire metro area.
If the impossible happens and I can't see my kids' hockey association sticker because I'm facing the front, then no. I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from any other.
I laughed this morning when I was out walking my dog and noticed the car of the new homeowners of a house around the corner. They have a shared driveway with the neighbors and each house had two vehicles parked one in front of the other completely lined up. The two cars closest to the sidewalk were matching Prius. IDENTICAL. I'm sure that made it and easy conversation starter with the new neighbors.
When you can't remember where you park, maybe its time to hang up the car keys.
I lose my car in parking lots all the time. ADD, and it's not that I forget where I parked, it's that I forget to pay attention to where I'm parked before I go into the store. I can't count the number of times I've wandered the lot with my shopping cart pressing my fob and trying to make my car "whistle" to me, lol. If cars still had antennas, I'd be first in line for the red ball to stick on top.
Large scratch/missing paint on the back bumper (not my fault - I wasn’t even there when it happened!), covered partially by a bumper sticker that says “Ore-green.” Also the missing hubcaps, which popped off one by one thanks to those San Jose potholes.
Funny you ask, though, since I tried to open someone else’s Jetta the other day! I hit the unlock button on my remote, then again, and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t opening... until I stepped back, and realized it wasn’t mine. Same make, model, color, probably year too! Just in much better condition, not to mention more recently washed. Kinda wish I could have swapped with them, lol.
True story. A couple of years ago my SO and I walked back from a play to a dark and almost deserted large parking with about five cars, my car amongst them with an older van a couple of spots away. It is a pretty much pristine 2002 Silver Subaru WRX wagon that I bought new in 2001.
I hit the key fob and the car beeped and I opened the driver’s door but oddly the passenger door did not unlock- no problem hit the unlock button and let him in and I proceeded to begin to put my key in the ignition but began to notice a couple of things. The dash had the standard silver finish, mine has the optional darker faux carbon fiber finish, the rear seat was folded down- mine never is, except for a rare transport of a larger item- with a nice blanket in the cargo bay. “What’s going on here and who has been messing with my car?”
The key doesn’t work. WTF?It’s not my car! we quickly jump out and walk over next to the van and my car is sitting there on the other side with its doors unlocked and ready to go.
What are the chances of two pristine identical color and model, nearly 20 year old fairly rare cars to begin with ending up nearly side by side in a deserted parking lot with one having its driver’s door unlocked?!
For one of them, the personalized license plate would make it super easy.
For the other, if it were to ever happen (I've rarely seen 2 in the same lot, and I have never seen this model with this color since I got it last year), the college plate frame would make it easy.
