   I either back in or if in a parking lot find an empty slot where I can   
   pull through to the other side. The problem is when you drive a Toyota   
   Yaris you need xray vision to see through the two massive pickups flanking   
   you. I very gingerly ease the nose out. That's better than having to pull   
   most of the car out to see anything.   
      
   I won't go into finding the car in a sea of pickups and SUVs. Putting a   
   flag on the stubby little antenna wouldn't buy me anything.
