If you plan on being parked for hours and start in the shade, it'll be in the sun when you return.

Hate that crap. Almost every car I have had has come out with a huge scratch, sometimes dings from carts.

ALWAYS PARK AND WALK! LOL!

When I went by the new Mal-Wart about a mile away the other day, there was a cart doing maybe 15 MPH across the lot with no one near it. *sigh* As I was just going by, I didn't see what it impacted...

They harvest some tree fruits or nuts by mechanically shaking the trunk. I figure 3 or 4 good stout bashes from your Scion's bumper would shake durn near every acorn from the tree. Then tell your insurance agent that it was hail...
