I came out of Costco today and walked all the way over to my car (of course parked safe and far from everyone else) and what do you know? There's a shopping cart right at my drivers side wheel frame. It wasn't a big dent, but still my first (I tried taking pics, but it wouldn't turn out right because of the glare). I'm over it now, but I was pretty pissed, since I figured it was the bastard that drove the s2000 that probably just left his cart out there, and over time it just rolled down and hit my car. Thank God they have those rubber protectors on the cart edges.

 

I am so sorry to hear this! This is one of my worst fears about my TSX too! That's why I hate to go to Costco, Home Depot and Lowe's these days - they have these incredibly inconsiderate people who would left their carts everywhere!!!

 

EPKIM,
Man i'm so sorry to hear about your unfortunate incident. I got my first one this morning when my wife fully extended the door and hit the neighbors car . Every time that we get into the car, when its not in the garage, i remind her to be careful with the door, but this morning we were in a rush and she just whizzed it open and WHACK hit the neighboring Mustang. I damn near had a coronary on the spot, but after inspecting both my car and the neighboring one, i noticed that the damage was neglible. After that incident, i'll be sure to park it in the garage from now on.

 

Dude...that sucks. I still check my car every time before getting in to look for dings and scratches. Nothing severe so far (knock on wood).

 

The first one is always the worst. I had a stupid Ford Focus roll down the hill into the back of my TSX. Luckily there was only a small scratch as the car rolled about 100 ft downgrade. Stupid idiot.
