NEW GARDEN: The car that couldn't be dented

The other day in the Giant parking lot in New Garden, I heard a crash nearby, looked over, and saw that two cars backing out of their spots simultaneously had just collided. The Prius had a dent in its back bumper that repaired itself before my eyes, returning to its normal configuration as if nothing had happened; it was like a scene from Stephen King's horror novel "Christine." The other vehicle had some scrapes on its bumper that didn't look as if they would self-repair.
I remembered one of my friend Paul's favorite maxims: "Parking lots are dangerous places, so you should drive as quickly as possible and get out of them."
