Maybe he saw your car and was like damn sexy car. Then he noticed it was a girl so he kept going so he can see you. Except he was dumb to not go around, and to think he can some how magically go straight through the car without crashing -_-.

It's mostly 1 & 4.
number 1 & 4 make me extremely angry! it's like
they are saying f**k you! to everyone on the road!
complete disregard for others' (and their own) safety.
i guess they don't really comprehend how dangerous this
activity can be,especially with the device strapped to their heads!

I dunno about the #4 stereotype. If I take my personal experiences then its been 50/50, but with a sample size of 2 thats not very acurate. First time in my old cursed car a dude in a dodge ram (how apropro) backed into my passenger door smashing it in and breaking the glass.
A few weeks later when I amazingly found a junkyard car where the only part was not rusted was the passenger door. I got it home and just before I could install it, a woman sideswiped the other side parked out on my street. This time car was deemed a total loss as the frame was bent.
And there's a bunch of women drivers at our auto and rally cross that way outdrive me!

First week i got my FRS i get stuck behind a SUV on the toll bridge. EZ pass prolly didnt work so he decides to go on reverse.... Except he or she doesn't realize there's a car behind him!! I honked multiple times, thankfully the car stopped right before he could smash my front... Bridge patrol went ahead and told the person to pull over, i'm guessing to give him a summons/ticket for reversing on a toll station.

Point is... careful when you're driving this car.... Unusual unexpected tragedies are attracted to it!


Sorry your car got rear ended

Glad you weren't hurt! Once it's fixed and you spend next summer driving around having fun, the car will bring you much good luck.

Sorry you got rear ended. And sucks that there is now an accident on that cars record so soon.
And as far as paying for others mistakes I came out to a nice size door ding last Saturday now I have to take time and waste gas to get estimates. What a way to spend hundreds of dollars to fix someone else's idiotic actions. Right when the holiday season is coming.

Though not nearly as bad as what other people have had happen I've almost been smashed into twice and I have two scratches on my hood due to rocks being thrown up by random vehicles.

In two moths my car has been hit three times. None that have been my fault one I was not even in the car. Second transmission clutch and flywheel. Going on my third fuel pump. Cel issue. Fogged taillights and literally every issue discussed on this thread.

Bad luck is an understatement but everytime I get back in the car it's amazing all over again.

Pic of the most recent one.

I can't stand stereotypes but the other day a lady in an SUV on her cell phone nearly ran me off the road

sucks to hear OP, but the positive thing about this is, this is what we pay insurance for

I live on long Island, and I ALWAYS have a bad experience with female drivers.
Honestly, most women around here are very stereotypical. They talk like valley girls/jersey Shore like? (I don't know-they just sound dumb) and are constantly on their fucking phone/never paying attention, speeding and riding on your ass! And I'm still talking about cars here!
Whenever I see someone speeding while tailgating - as in "if I tailgate them they will go faster' mentality its always a female. The only people I see who have enough knowledge to change lanes and weave in and out of traffic are males.
Seriously, I hate being a female because of this bullshit.
Like I said tho, this is just based off of my personal experience while on the road.
