bkreigsr,
See the little slots (1/8" wide saw kerfs) at the end of the wood plates? I hook the tape into the front slot on one side, and measure to the other side. Repeat for the rear. The difference between the two measurements is what matters. A standard 25' 3/4" wide tape measure can be fished into the slot from the other side of the car without much difficulty.

RoninLB makes a good point on the car setup. Fuel level has a measurable effect on toe. I imagine driver weight would also.
