My 93 Dakota hit a cement pillar, whoops. Wasn't there before. Parking lot
installed 3-4 foot pillars which lamp poles were to be installed. No lamp
poles, no markers. Nothing but marked open space AT ONE TIME!

kissed a lightpole in a parking lot in a snowstorm (poor visibility)
last winter .
Insurance paid upwards of $3600 for repairing right front end.
Thinking of erecting a monument for these guys.

welcome to the club

P.S. I though morons with civil engineering degrees are not widespread
in the states

Got high centered in a drive in movie theater in the 80s with a 78
chevy malibu station wagon. Had to get friends to bounce on the rear
bumper while spinning wheels to eventually move forward. Tore up most
of the bottom of the car, exhaust, cat, parking brake line, etc.
