THE CURSE ON THESE CARS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Love my Fr-s but man it sure is cursed... I have owned it almost 1 year now.. bought brand new, since that time, within 8 days I couldn't avoid a blown semi tire in highway and hit that sucker, that was 2000$ worth of damage, then I had a issue with the wiring harness was loose took it in for warranty repair, they had it for 4 weeks and during that time it hailed on it and did 2400 dollars in damage, then a guy at work door dinged my fender, then just last week as were on interstate on the right hand lane a Taliban truck driver with probably no insurance in a 18 wheeler just decided to turn into my lane as he was texting and driving and bounce my drivers side quarter panel and bumper probably going to be about 2000$ in damage..

I agree that I am lucky the 18 wheeler didn't hit me so hard as to spin me sideways and go underneath this truck but god dang... when will the curse end? Its getting me so frustrated I am thinking about just trading back in on a Tacoma. Oh and this car only has 14k miles on it.. not like I drive it a lot, its a garage queen.

Just venting.. no response required,, I feel better now

Ha ha!
I have felt that way about almost every new car I have ever owned!
Between low flying ducks (freakn' ducks!!!) taking out the bumper on my Lancer GTS just two days after buying it and developing a rabid fear of shopping carts I can appreciate where you are coming from!
The sad part is a new vehicle may be even worse!!!!!

WTF is a taliban truck driver? Is that just a bigoted name for a middle eastern truck driver?

while i haven't had any of those happen to me (knock on wood), i have found myself having to keep my head on a swivel when driving. it seems people just don't see this car! fortunately i'm used to this given the car i came from (944), which was also not well seen. i avoid at least one wreck a week from someone coming into/attempting to come into my lane when i'm either right next to them or in their blind spot, the latter of which i attempt to avoid whenever possible. hope things go better for you.

What ever you do don't get a motorcycle.

Life is really hard for the superstitious.

At least a couple times a week I have to avoid potential accidents. Swerving tires in the road, slowing to get out of truck blind spots as they move over, dodging drivers who aren't paying attention, etc.

It's a small car, you've got to be extra alert and aware.

Pretty sure it's the Taliban truck driver. He's terrorizing your life
