no more issues.

BTW, I am not totally joking. I had a friend in 1990 who would let his desert whip flag up on his baja bug when we would park in the SUPER packed HS parking lot. When we would get out of class later, he would look into the parking lot dazed from a long day of sleepy 90s high school learning and almost jump when he would see the flag. haha.
See OP my idea wasn’t that crazy. This guys got the same thinking! I still vote Safari build.

also, where are you parking and how long is it taking you to find your car, that’s causing this level of anxiety and panic for you? Sounds slightly unhealthy to me, unless this is hyperbole for sake of a fun post.

This sounds like the right solution.
About $300.

$410 doesn’t bother me, wonder how much to install?
After pistol whipping my wife, $410+install is quite a deal!🤕

In Oregon I just look for a lifted Dodge truck with a 6 inch exhaust tip, no matter where I park they will park as close as possible even when I park in the farthest possible parking spot available.

Has happened to me on occasion but not often enough to where I consider it a problem. Probably will be though as memory fades with age. For now, what has worked for me is looking for what looks like a vacant spot in a sea of SUV's and other regular cars that sit so much higher than ours. That's how I've found my car the few times I forgot where I parked it. Has been confined to a rather small area of the parking lot though.

When I have to park in an unfamiliar parking garage I use my phone to take a picture of the nearest numbered column or sign for the parking area, then another one of the elevator floor/corner name. With a lot of modern construction it's not uncommon to have stairwell/elevators coming up or doors exiting nowhere near the entry/exit ramps.

Throw an air-tag into the car.

You will be able to locate the car and as an added bonus you won't need to pistol whip your wife.
