Too bad you got some damage, least now you'll think about it more I guess.
Well I usally do, but I was in such a hurry to do my work assignment (I'm Registration Core) that I totally forgot.

Kills me though cause my co-driver pulled the car in my spot and not more than 20 seconds later the tent flipped. If he would have gotten there 20 seconds later it would have missed.
