My car is cursed...

I don't know what it is with this car, but I have a feeling that it has some sort of curse on it. The car can never stay undamaged. Cases in point:

2 accidents, same side (front fender).
Right after I fix the front, the car gets egged--leaving a rather unpleasant circular scratch mark, on the front fender.
Now, I noticed someone must have hit me in the back, scratched up the white stripe paint on the back bumper.

Why can't my car stay in "new" condition? It must be cursed...

My 98 v6 was cursed. Owned it 1 month and got pulled over and removed from my car at gunpoint, cuffed etc, drug DOGS in my brand new car. Grrr. The finance jerk at the dealer told me my plates were good until the end of my birthdate month. Wrong. I was driving around in a brand new mustang with expired plates that belonged to my old car. Not good. Ching ching $$$.

Then I woke up one morning and found the interior completely stripped. Interesting calling into work that morning, "can't come in, uh, my car has no steering wheel..." Then I totalled the rental car I had while it was getting fixed. 8 weeks later I finally got my car back.

Then I broke up with my boyfriend, he was not happy and took a razor knife and totally obliterated the passenger side of my car (confirming my choice was wise).

Then one night in the rain I slid off the road and went down into a ravine. 2 cinch tow trucks and 9 hours later they finally got my car up.

Then someone backed into me in a Target parking lot.

Things mellowed out after that, although I swear if there was a nail within 500 feet of my car it always ended up in one of my tires, always, the whole time I owned the car...

I did love that car though.

I had to drive Hondas when I was in HS and college for monetary reasons. Had a used 87 Accord: wrecked. Bought a 99 Civic: wrecked. Neither were my fault. I just seemed to be cursed driving Hondas. Ever since the last one I have owned Fords. No accidents...knock on wood!








Well, I actually drive a beat up 95 Camry for a daily driver, but it's not a Honda.

Mine too! The day I picked it up... no headlights, and then... it didn't run, and then I burned out the IAC... but that was kinda my fault... and then I bought one for the wrong year... also kinda my fault... and then... well I guess it's all my fault that it still doesn't run.

Yeah I rolled with it for the most part. Thankfully I never got hurt, never hurt anyone else.

The other wierd thing that happened was I was making a left turn and heard this bang! and felt the back of my car drop down. Got out and here I had run over this industrial sized pair of needle nose pliers. One side of the handle was completely stabbed into the sidewall of the passenger rear tire and the rest of the pliers were just sticking out. All I could think of was man I just hit Edward Scissorhands!! Traffic's backing up and there I was sitting next to my car laughing so hard there were tears coming down my face, I'm surprised they didn't just lock me up

Same as SilverBossGT for me. I had a Honda Civic in college for money reason and nothing but problems... I've been lucky with Fords, except for one guy who hit me backing up. Not bad in 13 years.
