Default hit a cart in a parking lot 30 minutes ago.

so it is 1AM now, i hit the cart about 12:30, i work at QFC and i forgot my schedule, so i decided to make the trip to see if i worked in the morning or not. I am cruising up their got halfway through the parking lot and turned a corner and before i could stop i smacked right into a black shopping cart. it went flying, landed on its side a ways away from me. i was PISSED, we are supposed to do cart runs and nobody did it for the night, my poor baby i ran out to see the aftermath, and i cant tell right now cause it is so dark but i think it bent the tip of my hood down. There is a scratch right the the edge and it might be rolled. Can somebody measure the distance from the tip of their hood to the very start of the radiator cover for me? it would help, and also i will update everybody on the actual damage tomorrow, maybe this is a sign to get a 4" cowl hood, i love the look......

Hmm, maybe if you hadn't blacked out your headlights to the point you can't see anything?

Ouch that sucks! I just curb checked the other day pulling into a parking spot next to a planter curb in a parking lot. Luckily i just barely nicked the rim and you can't see it's there unless I point it out.

Black shopping carts??? How fast were you going to send the cart "flying"?
