Default Just when I thought things couldn't get worse....

IT DID!!!!!!!
For the past year I have been having some of the worse luck ever. This week has been terribly bad. I have been driving my civic and decided hey let me DO something to the car, so i go to the VW dealership and pick up one of these lips ppl have been talking about. I used my pt job (Advance) and got both pcs for $24. I jack the car up to test fit the lip and noticed my CV boot is slinging grease every where. I just do a quick check over the engine to see that the alt. belt needs changing. I get the belt changed and drive home, and to make a long story short, (if you read my other thread), the Civic has some starting issues, most likely timing is off.

So, I am back to my Prelude, which is past due for a tag. I haven't been able to pass emissions and it keeps giving a code 7. I put the Civic tag on the Prelude and my friend and I fixed the TPS code it was giving. So hopefully now I can pass.

Well, today me still being frustrated with all this, call my old job back (bartending) and they let me come back this morning. I am thinking "man, I think things are looking better for me." I leave there and go to my pt job at Advance Auto Parts.
Still having a good day because the District Manager is there and he offered me FREE tickets to Nopi and dinner and had me pick some things that I think would sell at Nopi.

Well, the DM leaves and it is time for me to go to another store to pick up some parts for a customer. I walk outside to see this:






They hit my car and dipped.

before anyone gets started about the wiper nozzles, mines were missing when I bought the car 4 yrs ago. These were a replacement and they are NOT hooked up. I was just too lazy to find some.

Sorry to hear about your string of bad luck, it sucks that they got the door and not just the fender.

I am a female so maybe I might just go with the stereotype and paint my car pink.

Just kidding, I won't be doing that, thats not my style

That's horrible, but sad to its the way the world is...some people have no respect for other peoples property...

...I parked my Civic overnight on campus and came out in the morning, with a bad hangover, and saw a bunch of beer cans tossed all around and on my car, then noticed that the party must have happened on my hood cause it was dented and scrpaed to ****...

to ********. hopefully your luck takes a turn for the better

I was getting a lip to go on my '91 Hatch. I don't know what car it came from, but someone gave me the part numbers. It fits with a little trimming, believe it or not.
heres a sample pic (not my car) of the euro deep chin one:

The US one was cheaper and just doesnt have the cut out in the middle

I am going to get 3 estimates today. My manager said Advance will possibly pay for it. I hope that the will.
