Shopping carts are the enemy

Got a big 2" dent in the rear quarter of my car from someone who pushed two carts that were stuck together into my car last night. It cracked the paint too. Damn! I hate walmart!

He's from Arkansas (home of Wal*mart). I don't think it's even possible to park anywhere over there that is not a Wal*mart parking lot

But seriously, the solution is to park way in the back of the lot and certainly nowhere near the cart coral!

See my thread on "parking for dent-free Cobalts" here:

Find your nearest Paintless Dent Repair guy. Then put some touchup on the crack. PDR guy will do it for you. Will suck, since the paints cracked it will never look the same. But itll look better

you need to stratgicly park in lots, park up hill all lots have drainage built into them so stay uphill, center dividers make good blockades from idiot carts park on the safe side uphill to deter rolling carts...the wind can get them going pretty good sometimes..also kids messing around, i always find the furthest away parking space... seems i always have an open space...look at all these perfectly safe parking spaces up hill and away from everbody..
