Actually, I also checked the alignment of the tires.

As you know, the Insight has rear tires that are inset by 2 inches over the front tires.

I moved the car until the rear tires were two inches further away from the edge of the driveway slab that the car was resting on.

When moving the car, I noticed that the rail where the drivers door opens was also in alignment with the driveway edge.
