The problem could be that I regularly lose my car in parking lots because it in no way resembles a white pickup truck. Unfortunately the problem is bigger. Much bigger.

[edited: Can I just put a disclaimer here and then you guys can mentally copy and paste this into the start of every post? As of August 15th my brain is dead.
