Pulled into a parking lot this morning and was making a turn to find a parking place, as I turned the Sun hit my windshield, I reached up to pull my visor down and SMACK I took out a sign that was in the MIDDLE of the freaking parking lot. I feel like

. I'm completely in shock at how much damage was done at <10 MPH by a sign on a flimsy metal pole.

What kind of parking lot is that? It's a freaking maze

matthook · 02-13-2012, 09:40 AM

Doesnt look like its in the middle of nowhere lol. looks like it was right beside the parking curb

woops. I hate that morning sun glare! I nudged a pedestrian one time when the sun hit the ice on the street just right, could not see the poor guy in the crosswalk because I was blinded by the glare.

No way you were doing 10mph and did that. Maybe 20 to 25 would do that not 10 mph

If I were doing 20 - 25 I would be the first to say it and would feel better about the amount of damage considering a 20 mph impact; but I was doing max of 10 MPH I might round up to 15 but no faster, I was in the middle of rounding the corner to find a spot to park and just didn't even think of a sign being there, the sun is a killer this time of year. It sucks I hate to see my baby in this condition.

I didn't say it was in the middle of nowhere I said it was in the middle of the FREAKING parking lot. Maybe this POV helps, keep in mind this was taken about an hour later and the cars in this pic weren't there at the time.
