Are you doing all the event planning for the 86 thing in Virginia? Is that something you can share the load on?

3 other ppl... well technically 5 others are helping me. Even with that, a lot of stuff have to go through me, so some stuff I cannot let others work on it. I'm glad These guys are here to help, without them my whole hair would of been white by now.

I do remember "the curse" but I never looked into it. I guess it's not too bad, if I think about it, my MR2 would've been about the same price to insure despite being way cheaper to fix if I had comprehensive coverage. Gotta pay to play :/

I'm curious - what's this curse you're talking about?

Lots of people with brand new rides getting hit. Completely out of their control.

Someone used my passenger side for a door stop within a month of owning mine. The Curse is real!

A cone totally jumped out in front of me and cracked my bumper.
Tried to get his insurance info but he didn't have any and left the scene.

Asshole.

Hmm..exhaust tip or no? No tip would save me 40 bucks and I think it looks kind of functional and badass, but a shiny tip looks pretty cool too...

Or so they claimed. (5% of the people that have had accidents on here say they were driving perfectly and blame some other element/person. That is not statistically feasible even with a "curse".

Exactly who are you accusing of what, Tcoat? Don't be vague!

My beloved GT86 got hit in a parking garage a month after I got it. Old guy in a SUV backed into it. Said he didn't see it in his mirrors.
The front bumper and one headlight was replaced. Didn't cost me anything, car was good as new, no big deal.
BTW, I wasn't even in my car at impact, so I feel justified in blaming the old guy.

And no, I don't believe it's cursed. That's just silly.

Polished tip? My MR2's "Lotus style exhaust" had 2 fat tips coming out that were more or less plain, straight cut tubing, but polished. Wouldn't be hard to give a stainless steel pipe a buffing.

Talking about the many "the guy in front braked too fast and I rear ended him. People don't know how to drive" guys. For a while there it seemed that every single driving incident was somebody else's fault and some of the rationalizations were spectacular.
Ya, parking lot hits are in no way your fault unless of course you parked like a ****.
