when its rains it pours- i think my car may be cursed
so for the first 9 months i had my car everything was amazing. now...not so much
an accident in septemeber 07 kept me out of my car till early decemeber, and as of yesterday morning my new hood and front bumper al messed up again. dirving up to big bear a jackass in a scion tc decided it would be a great idea to come halfway into my lane and launch a few rocks at me. one of which crack and punctured my front bumper. i chased the guy down and got his insurance information, only to find out that since he didnt hit me, and he didnt throw the rock at me that he isnt liable. i ignore it for the time being and enjoy my day snowboarding. while on the drive home i decide to call my insurance company and find out what my comprehensive deductable is and how much this whole thing is going to cost me. and not 30 seconds into the conversation with my insurance company a truck in front of me kicks up a rock the size of a golf ball right into my hood. the front bumper needs to be sanded down and re-painted now and my brand new hood now has 4 chips and dent in the right front side...

Yes, this is true. Second week I had my car, hit by a couple shopping carts in parking lot, dented.. Next couple weeks, my mirrors get scraped in parking lot. I started parking as far away from everyone as I could, and no more problems.

Must be backwards for me. My bad luck came in the second year. You're doomed.

With 350 miles on the clock in my brand new STi, i can around a sharp turn and a state road truck carrying a load of large gravel coming the opposite way lost his load. Luckily there was a large pull off spot along the side of the road and i was able to avoid most of the chaos. But still got 2 large dents on my roof.

I lol at Subaru owners who actually worry about dents/scrapes. Aren't they rally cars? The sexiest WRX I've ever seen was a slammed blue bug eye on falt black slipstreams, his right headlight was broke, the right fender was crumpled the right door was in primer and the bumper was held up by zip ties and duct tape.

My buddy paid $600 to replace a cracked windshield in his 2001 Corvette Z06. The next day a porsche in front of him- threw up a lane dividing "bump" into his hood (scratched and dented) bounced off and cracked his brand new windshield in a spider web.

in one week with my mustang back in HS I had my stereo stolen, windshield smashed, and an engine fire. That is a bad week.

In my first 4 month of owning my 08 DGM I have the 2 tone DGM paint (still don't know if SOA is going to fix the issue) and my buddy just hooked me up with the new front bumper mod. At least I will get new paint on the bumper.
