Well not me personally seeing as I don't drive a car but people I have been with have, especially at big shopping malls and theme parks.

All the time! My color Cavalier is very popular. That's why my old car was so wonderful-not many people own a cookie monster-blue Geo Metro!

A few times when I first got my lisence. Actually, a few years ago my then boyfriend and I went on a double date with my best friend and her then boyfriend. We went to the movies and saw Dude Where's My Car. We come out of the theatre and stand there for a minute and the guys are scratching their heads and finally say "hey, where's the car?"

I don't drive, but once when I was in law school I went to the school formal with two other girls from my class and the next morning (we stayed at the hotel where the formal was held) we had to actually get someone to drive us around the parking lot, because we had no recollection of where we'd left my friend's car.

Always! I used to have a keychain that said "this time I didn't lose my keys, I lost the whole damn car!"

So embarassing when you're in a huge parking lot...

haha my mother used to do it too.
back then we had a honda civic and in melbourne sooo many people had them especially in our colour.
Once it was soo weird there were 4 of those cars parked in a row and we couldnt figure out which one was ours because 2 of them had similar numbler plates!!

I'm pretty good about remembering where I parked. Sometimes it takes a moment to get my bearings, but once I have, location isn't a problem. But as someone else remarked, there is the problem of identical vehicles. Have you any idea how many white 1989 Toyota Corollas there are on the road? It was a very large litter, let me tell you!
Fortunately, ours is probably the only one with a sunroof (retrofit). It sure helps!

Yes, many times!
I hate it, it's so embarrassing walking through rows of cars obviously looking for you own.

pretty much every time I'm in a big parking lot... the worst time though was at an airport I had no idea at all where I was I think it took me like an hour to find the car.... wayyy too much like that seinfeld episode

Yes! I never have to look for long, though. I have a recurrong nightmare where I KNOW my car is in the lot, but I cannot find it. I look at every single car in the lot, and mine is not there.

I don't have a car, but when I'm on an outing with my mom, we can never find the car afterwards.

I'm pretty good at noting the alphabet sign so I remember where I am. What's embarrassing to me is when I'm yapping to a friend and I try to unlock the door of a car that looks like mine!
