How far away are you generally standing from the car?
That is at 2.8 at 24mm... Standing roughly 10-15ft from the car I would say. Now it does change things a little when the car is more at an angle.
Here is a link to a larger version if you want to look a little closer.

*edit*
I didn't actually make my point... haha. The further you stand back.. the more you can fit into your focal plane.
