Let me run down all the sh*t that has happened to my baby since I had her (March of last year purchased brand new)

1) 2 weeks old: following an SUV on the freeway...SUV runs over a rubber mat and sucks it straight up in the air...I hit it with my lip... Cracked the lip .

2) 1 month old: Traveling down the freeway...a car in the right lane runs over a huge hunk of tire tread and knocks it directly in front of me. Totally tear up the front lip. (now replaced with oem lip)

3) 6 months old: Again traveling on the freeway...A hub cap comes flying across my lane...I'm set to avoid when suddenly the guy in front of me runs it over with his rear tire. The hub cap jumps up in the air and heads directly for me. It hits my windshield and top of my car. It scratched the windshield and left about a 1foot long scratch on the roof.

4) 6 months old: I'm stopped at the ATM and an old lady just runs right into my rear bumper. Minimal damage.

5) 1 yr old: Some little punk kid jacks my rear emblem and leaves a big scratch in the paint.

5.5) 1yr 1month old: Forgot to mention...my antenna gets bent by high winds. (replaced with s2k antenna)

6) 2 wks ago: I get rearended by a pickup truck. Again minimal damage but still pisses me off.

7) Just this past weekend: I was rearended again! This time my car is going to the shop. Will be driving a rental for a while.

I'm seriously considering getting rid of her for a 330. This is ridiculous.

Why replace her if it's not even her fault? It wasn't like all that damage was intentional by a Type R hater or anything. Could have happened with any car you drive, it's just your luck.

 

Jesus Christ! What bumper car freeway are you driving on? It's not the cars fault. It's the blind bastards that you commute with.

 

you got bad charma with that R....you must have been a bad person in a past life...

 

Maybe it is me...but this has never happened to any of my other cars.

I live in Houston. The freeways are full of all kinds of crap.

 

sucks dude.....this is why i hate tailgaitors...it's all fun and games until someone rear ends your R

 

good luck..dude ..its a jungle out there

 

Well **** the charma (bonk) - you have bad karma! Changing cars is not going to help you - you are just one unlucky dood.

 

Some cars carry **** on their tires....

 

I think tegs are bad luck in general,Everyday I come out of work and these hatin ******** keep slamming there doors into my car,dings,everyday there is a new ding.

1.got the car 1 month later accident on my way to NYC on rt 3.
2.got it back,some ******* ion an SUV slams his big goofy doors into my ride leaving a ding about the size of a golf ball,not to mention I kicked his door in.
3.A couple months later I come out of the gym only to see some idiot who can't speak English wack right into my front 1/4 panel.
4.A couple months later it gets stolen.
5.Every otherday there is a new ding added.
Theres more but thats to sum it up briefley.
Tegs are hard to keep nice,being they have terrible body integrity and thiefs.

Death to teg THIEVES - not thiefs.

If you're gonna slam people for not speaking English - you would be best to learn it yourself. Learning punctuation would be a plus too.
