hey vette
here is a suggestion;
instead of the curb "finders"
why dont you go get a set of curb "feelers"
like the old la bamba's had in the 70's?
they attach to a lower part of a fender,
are like a foot long or so,
are mounted at a 45 degree downward angle,
and they are made of like a spring (chromed for the bling factor)
They make a noise when you get within a few inches of anything.
That would be classic!!!!!!!!
The other approach is simply to keep in mind that the edge of the front tire is in alignment with the edge of the rear tire, so using the sideview mirror angled down a little and looking at the position of the rear tire you can infer the position of the front tire.
