about a year ago i was at the local game stop in this shopping center that was in the target parking lot. when i went in it looked cloudy but no rain.. 5 mins later I come out and its windy as **** with black skys... out of the corner of my eye I see this older lady looking sort of dumbfounded at me walking to my car....and then i see it... the wind had blown her target cart out of her hands as she was returning it and it was speeding toward my GTR. 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.

yeah we both got lucky.. i had another near miss at target believe or not. this was back maybe 2 years but it was night time and i would park way way out in the lot to where m GF would bitch.. so we are walking out to the car and there is this 80 year old lady in a buick driving across the lot ( not up and down the lanes) and she is way out where my car is... its dark outside and my car is black...she misses it by maybe 3-4 feet never hits the brake never sees it just keeps on.... my GF starts laughing at me saying thats what i get for parking out so far like a dumbass....

so man its random **** happens... thats why 99.999% of the time when im at a place like target walmart the mall ect... Im in my 05 NISMO frontier as its already scratched and dinged up so i dont care

That's why if its wide in the open like you described it could be dangerous .
