THE CURSE ON THESE CARS

[slim blanco]

i've rarely hit animals while i've been driving...but i've hit so many damn birds with this car in the past seven months, it's nuts. i hit a hawk the fifth day i had the car. who hits a hawk!? haha. it bounced off my windshield after it threw the crow it took down mid flight under my car. it was quite ridiculous. i've hit two birds previously in all of the cars i had before this one. i can't even count how many i've hit so far with just this one. thankfully, that's it for me though...i have no problem picking feathers out of my engine bay and washing bloody poo off my bumper if that's all it's going to be.

You've had all the bad luck you were going to have in 10 yrs in this short time period. So you shouldn't have any bad luck for the next 9 yrs.

This car is a total curse for me.

I had never had an accident caused by me or any other drivers, but in the first week of ownership I managed to get rear ended while I was at a complete stop at a red light and also backed into by my neighbour. Apparently the neighbour reversed and turned the wheel almost full lock WITHOUT looking back. I was in my house while this happened.

The curse exists!

Hawaiian style is to throw some hawaiian salt around your car and wave some Ti Leaves around it as to bless the car from evil spirits/karma, etc.

you guys make me feel a little better, thanks...

To clarify I said Taliban Truck driver because literally he is a middle eastern guy who is a 2 man trucking company called "Taliban Trucking" maybe he did it as a joke.. I dont know.. but he tried to tell me he would give me 200 dollars if I wouldnt call the police and file a report.. and refused to show me his insurance information. So I waited for the cops for an hour and half.. great response time from the Amarillo PD.. thank god he wasnt planning on leaving the scene in that time....He got a ticket and I got his insurance info after 2 hours.

I do love my car, and it was the first brand new car I have ever bought and it sure does seem to be cursed with incidents and stuff, never had this issue on my other vehicles, and babied them all the same. Just after every incident I feel like I should of sprung for the T-Force Tacoma I orginally test drove. I'll hold on to my car for now unless something awesome comes up, I've always loved the FR-S the Tacoma and Tundras.. always been a sports car/ 4x4 toyota guy.
