30K+ 35K - happened 2 or 3 times now. 38K 40K+ 50K I had a father and son sitting in 2 lawn chair last weekend and I rolled up next to them on the grid waiting for my Autocross run. The son guessed 40K, the father guessed 50K. When I told him it was only 25K, he almost fell backwards out of the chair. The son then jumped in my car for a ride a long. Back on topic - I've had similar experiences as you guys with my last 2 cars. On my first car (black 94 Integra 2 door) someone took out my front fender while I was in school and when I came out, I couldn't open the drivers door because the dent caused the front fender to block the door seem. My Silver Audi was equally unlucky. I had the rear bumper repainted (I bought it used) and within 3 days of owning it, someone had hit the rear end with a crappy red taurus while parking. I had red scratches (from his paint) on the rear bumper but because he denied hitting me and I had no proof it was him, insurance did nothing for me. Since my FR-S is my third car, I'm hoping third times the charm!! So far I've had it almost 6 weeks and no damage or dings so far! Like you guys though, I do have some scratches under the front lip but this is because I hit a few cones Autocrossing. It's not noticable at all unless your under the car. I wish you guys all good luck from up north! bneale

Sorry to hear about that man. I loved your colour when I saw it at F440 a few weeks ago. Really thats too bad. I hope ICBC takes care of you and doesn't give you the shaft! I've never really had much luck with them. Make sure you get a really good autobody place to paint your car. bneale

As for being on topic, all this curse stuff makes me nervous. I live in a subdivision with a ton of kids. I fear for the safety of my future FR-S, hopefully the curse will lift before I get it.

Forget the fact that it's a 25K car. These are brand new cars and it seems as though the accidents were not the FR-S owners but rather the fault of other drivers.

Also you weren't even near the scene and you are defending the OP, and in the meanwhile you are the one saying "common misconception"? why not keep that misconception to yourself if you have no idea. |

He simply stated, factually, that the girl was Asian. He did not generalize about Asian people or girls at all. He said that he assumed her parents bought her the car. That could be construed as ageist or racist, but he didn't really elaborate on it, as it wasn't a focus in the post. Some folks are just overly sensitive about race. |

Is there a ANY NEED for the OP to state that the girl was Asian to tell his story? |

I have no problem with it. Plenty people have talked about my race when describing people who've done all sorts of stupid things. Until he crosses a line and points out the stereotypes that your mind has inserted into his post, I don't see anything wrong with it. |
