I run to intervene but it was too late...it hit right where the clear side marker was like where the bumper and fender meet...hit so hard the back wheels of the cart came off the ground i **** you not.... by some miracle and maybe the clear bra or hit impacting exactly on the plastic side marker there wasnt any damage...but seriously it was a WTF moment.

seriously a half empty lot and the target cart bin was like a hundred feet away in the parking lot.. the chances that it would come out of her hands and have the exact diagonal trajectory to line up perfectly with my car was just if it would have T boned the door it would have been epically bad
damn!!! scary!!!
Hopefully this helps me pick an even better spot next time, maybe putting into account variables consisting of wind direction, and if the ground is perfectly leveled or not etc LOL .
Yea also thankfully no cracks or anything, I will have to further inspect. But In the picture, at first I thought it was full contact with front bumper, but when I got closes they wheels are the front hit the bottom spoiler thing, which prevented the top of the cart to hit the paint with much force.
