Nah, use a rod sliding in a bit of tube between the front  tyres. Use it on front and rear edges. No measuring needed; at least for parallel.

Because you spend more  time explaining to passers-by why you're lying on the ground, 2m in front of the car squinting at it. Some, er, equipment saves a lot of stupid questions.

Nah, you need to think aloud while your working. They can't get a word in edgeways then. Saves a fortune on unnecessary equipment too. ;)
