I feel your pain...sometimes I think the harder I work to make my car look nice, the worse my luck is with these mini "disasters". My nemesis isn't shopping carts, however; it's birds that eat hearing aid batteries and sh!t pure acid on my ride.That is only slight hyperbole.

You will overcome!

Man that sucks, this is why I always try to scope out an area with no carts near me, and if there's any I put them up on the curb. But sometimes you just can't avoid other people's ignorance.

Shopping carts are public enemy!

The only solution is to just park in a desolated are of the parking lot.... and with that, I mean that nobody parks in that area.

The fact that there are no carts when you arrive, doesn't mean the guy parked beside you won't bump his cart into your nice BMW.

True Story.

I'm at the gym when I get a call from my girlfriend. She's in a parking lot of a supermarket inside her car waiting for her brother to come back from buying something inside the store. Well, her car has blacked out tints, so its pretty difficult to notice anyone inside her car. She calls me to tell me that some "kids" 15-20 years old, who were shoving shopping carts into each other like dumbasses, literally slamming them into cars, over, and over. I urged my girlfriend to call the police and report this vandalism thats going to cause people to have to fork over the deductable of their insurance and raise their premiums for the claims (A quality repaint cost more than $500 which is equal to the average deductable). She didn't, claiming she didn't wanna get "involved". I was soo pissed at her. She's just like everyone else in parking lots who see shit like this happen and don't do nothing.

None the less, people are assholes and deserve to have their pinky toes cut off for shit like this.
