Default I swear to God I just can't win with this car

This is a bit OT but I gotta vent for a minute. Three weeks ago I had a shopping cart slam into my passenger door causing $725 in damage (windstorm carried it away).

Today I had a rock hit my 2 month old windshield (I replaced it because the original was pitted badly) and now there's a 10" crack in the glass. That's $250.

The rock then proceeded to leave a 3" gash in my hood before landing on the ground, so now my hood needs to be painted too.

I was there last year in the Spring. Nothing like $3,800 worth of damage, due to a hail storm.

I feel your pain guys... I bought my car last year and the MORNING AFTER I was driving to work and hit the biggest ground hog I've ever seen, ripped up my front bumper while bending my A/C condenser bracket and bending the condensor into my radiator... later when I bent it back... hole in the radiator.

you guys sound like bad luck like chinese stuff. i find those chinese things stupid (i'm chinese). Should we have a thread to see all the accidents HT users been in?

I only had two accidents in the same spot. back right quarter panel. one by me, into a pole i couldn't see, years (2 years?) back, and one by an old guy in a parking lot, years (2 years back around the same time as the first) ago.

edit: oh yah after getting it fixed a second time, the shop did a half *** job on my paint and it started chipping by itself! wtf huh?! that's not all. I get it painted by a really well known shop, and then few months later the clear is peeling and here i am now.
