It happens.

So in Europe carts are all buckled together. When you get a cart you have to insert the equivalent of a dollar or two (in coins) to unbuckle it from the others and then hell yeah you see people returning it!! It kinda sucks that here you can just leave it anywhere.

Always park uphill?

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

The lower spoiler prevented it from hitting the paint, but upon inspection some paint is lightly scratched (scuffed) but I should be able to buff it out completely or to the point of it not being noticeable.

These should be included with purchases of nice cars. Just need to work on a way to make them quick setup and quick take-down.

Parking uphill, away from other cars, and ideally next to a curb is what I always look for

I hate haters !!

I hate parking in public lots here in LA. Nothing but a bunch of inconsiderate douches that ding your car.

Maybe I should just cover my car in these! lol

Our Car Door Guards, and Door Edge Guards are Superior to the Competition

Those look interesting, but would be a hassle to do this every time you park... but it'd be worth it.

kenchan · 04-23-2013, 10:30 AM

yah, one of my earlier hobby cars have been hit by a shopping cart before.

i took the car to this PDR place and watched the guy push it out. that's when i decided i'd learn PDR myself. it's a handy thing to know how to do.

LOl looks legit!! Hahaha.
Usually parking far away works.
I've never came back to other cars around me
Until this time, but it was a shopping cart...

So I'm in my Honda at the school parking waiting for my next class , and Damn I'm glad I rarely bring the Z here ...bunch of white girls with 4x4 pick up trucks parking all slanted and what not .
Keep in mind they are young and probably just got their license lol .

LOl you got me there ! Lemme change that by young I mean stupid . Well at least at parking .
I'm 20

3 more months for 21

Really though, I could probably snap a couple pictures of how horrible people park.

School is the single most terrifying place on the planet to park a nice car. When I was in college I bought a $500 salvage title Volvo 940 so my Sti could stay at home.
