Honda Accords have got to be the most common car there is. We have one that Brandon has owned for a few years. When we were dating I never knew which car we were walking towards because his car looked like half the cars in the parking lot. So I memorized the first 3 letters of the license plate so I wouldn't look dumb walking to the wrong car all the time. And I still use that technique to this day as I try to find our car in parking lots.Last night when we were leaving a friends house late in the evening we were walking towards our car from the side and there were two cars right next to each other that both looked like our car, but I couldn't see the license plate so I waited for Brandon to stop at one of them. He couldn't get the key in to unlock the door for me, but then it didn't matter because it was already unlocked so I just got in. As he walked around the car to the drivers side I noticed there was something different about the car. As he sat down we both realized it was not our car. We felt pretty funny as we laughed and jumped out of the random car and found ours about 6 cars away. So if that was your car we sat in, uh... sorry about that. We really weren't trying to steal it.

Becca, that is AWESOME! I remember YEARS ago, when I was still attending YW/YM dances, I went out to the family van to get something. Gum, purse, lipgloss, deoderant...who knows. I checked to see if it was locked. It was and the alarm went off. One thing: our van didn't have an alarm. I was so scared that someone would accuse me of breaking into some other Mormon family van that I ran into the stake center and hid in the bathroom until the alarm shut off. Ahh...good memories.
Aaron and I sometimes walk into a parking lot and begin to argue about if the honda accord to the left or right is our car. We've had several times when we've split up, both sure we were right and both ended up wrong.
I'm so glad we're not the only ones. Maybe I can persuade Brandon to let me paint subtle checkers or stripes on our car so we can tell it apart.
Absolutely not!
Why be subtle? I would go all out: glow in the dark paint, purple glitter, giant flowers could all be incredibly helpful in immediate identification
Well said.
