THE CURSE ON THESE CARS

[bababooey]

within the first week I had a couple people pull out in front of me both during day & nite, and not going terribly over the speed limit. i bought a white car to help with visibility being a smaller car.

since then a rock chipped the windshield about day 60 & about day 100 received a couple inch long gash passenger door from a piece of concrete kicked up by some SUV thru construction zone in houston. certainly could have been worse but i originally thought about a curse shortly after purchase.

Need Safety Cone orange err... Hot Lava to be seen.
White is great but there are just too many white cars out there!

White does not help at all. It seems like people cannot see anything that is smaller or lower than an SUV, If they can see over top of you then you do not exist!

Ran over a blown truck tire myself. Couldn't be helped what with traffic on all sides. Saw it and whelped no choice here goes. Made a hell of a racket under the car. Got lucky, it only displaced the grill. Popped it right back into place.


Stick with the car. The karma meter is bound to swing back into the gold zone. Sooner or later.

One time when I was a kid, probably 10 years old or so, my mom was taking me to the airport to fly to my dad's place. She was driving, my sister in passenger, and I'm in the back. '86 300td mercedes.
We were driving on the freeway with medium traffic, and we all heard and felt a big thump, as if we ran over something or hit a re-tread. We keep driving though as everything seemed to be okay, and I needed to get to the airport. After a few minutes, the water temp starts to rise and the car is going to overheat. My mom gets on the next off ramp so we can try to figure out whats going on. While we are sitting at the off ramp waiting for the signal to change, a highway patrol car pulls up next to us, and proceeds to look over our car and then give my mom some strange looks. He told us to pull over, which we were about to do anyway.
We found a big wooden stick/handle sticking straight out of the grille. Some idiot gardener/landscaper/handyman dropped a fucking axe off his truck (presumably) in the middle of the freeway. it must have bounced up off of the ground because the head of the axe entered the grille, penetrated the radiator and went straight into the engine block. If the axe had been a foot or so higher off of the ground it would have flown straight through the cabin for sure.

edit - also I ran over a fucking giant rolled up carpet in my fr-s going about 55 on the freeway

Damn! I think I would have trouble running over a rolled up Kleenex so that must have been an experience!

it sucked. the car in front of me hit it, I had zero time to react. I thought there was going to be massive damage but it seems to be okay besides some good hard scraping on the underside and front of the lip and a damaged side reflector.

I plowed through a square bail of hay on the interstate. I had 2 options.

1.) Swerve into the median and run over all kinds of rock, glass, etc.
2.) Swerve into the middle lane and hit a car.

Took the bail head on and never looked back. Shit happens.

Your car is garage queen with 14k. I have 10k on mine and I bought it brand new in June 2012. It's my DD. I really don't drive mine.



No such thing as CARma.
