VX meets steel shopping cart head on in parking lot

[transio]

I saw a baby stroller WITH A BABY IN IT get hit in front of a grocery store years ago because someone in a BMW "had to be somewhere in a hurry". Forgive me if I cant feel sorry for you.

I'm pretty sure Sheik wasn't the guy who hit that baby. What an odd transference of anger!

I'm with "Wormgod" on this one.
If you hit something in a busy parking lot. You are driving too fast.
If it flew over a dumpster, you were driving way too fast
I think you would be shocked at the value of a shopping cart in court.
BTW My youngest rides in carts all the time.
Be happy it wasn't life long lesson.

12 feet up & about 30 ft. distance to clear the dumpster.

Nice distance!

Ease up a bit WormGod &Bulldoggie, If you read the thread again , I stated that it was at NITE , and I never said that it was a BUSY parking lot. I didnt need to weave between other cars or even children in shopping carts. I just gave it gas to get around the SUV in front while trying to make it back in time.It was my error by not stating that the lot had only 2 or 3 cars in it, & they were parked on the far side of the lot, which gave me a lot of space to go around w/o hitting another anything but a childless shopping cart., I went back there this eveing to get an approx measurement. It was about 40 feet that the cart flew to clear the almost 6 & 1/2 ft hight dumpster. OK, it was'nt 12 ft high, but it sure as hell looked like it to me at the time. ...................Thanks transio for underdtanding

One of our other members told me he hit a deer on the way to work one morning at somewhere between 40-50 mph. I've seen his VX since then and not a scratch.

I wonder how much damage would have been done to the Lexus. Did the Lexus owner have the courtesy of thanking you afterwards for running blocker through the parking lot?

I think the point some are trying to make is that it could have been a baby in a shopping cart.You did not see the cart til it was too late. What if it was someone on a bike or a baby in a stroller? shawn

Hey! a big HI YA'LL! I was recently rear-ended by a Lexus while sitting @ red light , the guy never even attempted to brake,so I got smacked @ about 35-40 mph, gotta love this the lexus slid up under my back end,so as i'm driving off the front end of the car (ha-ha) i'm thinking I got no rear end left. WRONG ! I'm pleased 2 say I only suffered damage 2 the molding(no body damage @ all!) which will be replaced. But sorry 2 say the Lexus didn't make it out alive,it had 2 b towed. FYI all passangers in the lexus came out ok,no one was injured.. LOVE MY BAD-A** VX!!!
