There is a great line in the movie Cars, where Mater the tow truck is showing the rookie race car Lightning McQueen how to drive backwards.  McQueen is impressed and asks, “How do you do it?”  Mater responds, “I don’t have to know where I’m going I just have to know where I’ve been, I use my rear view mirrors.”

I know there has to be a great life illustration in there somewhere.  Ideas?
