Default I saved a Z!!!

...yeah today at the grocery store I saved a Z. It was an extremely windy day and shopping carts were rolling all around since people are too lazy to return them to the cart return...anyways after spending a while shopping and on the way to my vehicle (not a Z, yet), I spotted a cart rolling across the whole parking lot and i thought "damn someones car is gonna get hit," the I noticed it was heading for a 350z and I made a mad dash towards the cart like that one commercial. It was about >__< that close from hitting the car when I rescued the Z. It would have been BAD =o. Just thought I would share

For $3 a day I'll let you ride in my trunk. Your job will be to bodyguard my Z!

Seriously, man, very cool. If I came out to my car to see you diving to prevent a dent, I'd be treating you and your family to lunch! Keep up the good work!

Good Job!

On Monday I saw a Mercedes E500 get slammed by a full cart of groceries as i pulled into the grocery store parking lot. The cart rolled halfway across the parking lot before the old lady even realized her cart was gone. The lady grabbed her groceries and ran out of the lot. Those are the kind of people that you hate.

Wow, very cool man! If you had done that to my Z, I would be more than happy to take you out to lunch/dinner at your restaurant of choice.

I always get freaked out when taking my Z to a supermarket or Target, etc. I try to follow some advice my dad gave me awhile back when going to places with shopping carts in the lot: try to find a spot to park where there's a slight incline if possible. That way, you'll reduce your chances of carts rolling downhill into your car.

I'd get my buddies to dress up as ninjas with shopping carts, then proceed to fight them off! Then I'd do all the things in your Z that I'd never do in mine (donuts!!!).
