Default Why It's Important to Drive Fast...

Last week I was at The Home Depot, just to pick up a few drywall screws. It was a little windy, no problem. I was creeping through the parking lot AT A NICE, SAFE SPEED looking for a spot, and there was one, right by the door, that no driver in their right mind would resist. I stopped, looked both ways as a good law abiding driver would do...nothing/nobody in sight. I proceded toward the parking space and POW![B)]...
In my side view mirror was a stray, unmanned orange shopping cart that had richocheted off my left rear panel, leaving a dent about the size of half a forearm. Apparently, the cart hit pretty hard due to the wind and the incline of the driveway going up to the entrance doors. It'll cost me a bit to get that fixed. If I was driving a little faster, my rear bumper would have been grazed, or missed completely.
You Turbo owners out there don't know how lucky you really are... And as for the rest of you, PUT YOUR DARN SHOPPING CARTS BACK!
