Study finds men, women use different methods to find parked cars

The strategy you use to remember where you parked your car comes down to your sex, according to a recent Dutch study.

Their research found 24 percent of men tend to use distance and mileage terms when describing how to get to their cars, compared to 38 percent of women who used visible landmarks to get their bearings.
