Bad Driving, Good Zaino
Okay, so I'm at work heading out for lunch, and since UPS is holding my AEM CAI hostage, I decide to go pick it up.
There's a guy in front of me being slow to swipe his badge to raise the gate (one of those wood planks that go up and down), so I start punching in the UPS address into my NAV. The guy in front of me finally starts to leave, so I start to leave too.
It wasn't until i saw the gate coming down that I realize I forgot to swipe my badge. AIGH!!! So I try to go a bit to the left, but I hear this thudding sound as I hit the gate
I glance behind me and thankfully I didn't totally smash through the gate (some people have - it's just a plank of wood), but I assume the guard is going to rip me a new one. I do a u-turn and go back in.
Surprisingly, he didn't see anything at all!
So after he got done talking with the car in front of me I quietly went in, did a u-turn, badged out, and left.
I pull into a 7-11, and get out to inspect the damage. It doesn't look good, as there's a white gash going across my car.
I wipe off the window and the rubber trim around it. I'm having a hell of a time cleaning the trim - I must have whacked that gate hard because I can't get the paint off the rubber.
So finally I reluctantly look at where the paint got hit. I spray some Z7 on, wipe with a towel. And it is stratchless. You can't tell it got hit.
ALL HAIL LORD ZAINO!!!!!!!!!

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.
