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!!!!!!!!!
