OK I dont believe in Jinxes but I have had 2 accident this year
First accident you all remember when I hit the concrete parking lot divider laying in the street.
Second accident was tuesday night. I was leaving Walmart at about 8:15pm when I cam up to a light to make a right turn as I came thru the light the back end of my car lost traction and spun me around, in trying to correct I turned the wheel the other way and got not response. It was if I had hit Ice. The car slid in a curb with my right front tire making contact damaging my $250 Michelin Tire. I saw up the street cop cars and a fire engine and wonder what was going on. I went and parked the car in a Baskin Robbins parking lot next to where I spun out. When I got to the road the whole right turn lane was covered in Transmission fluid ARGGGHHHH as I got back up on the curve a Ford Explorer hit the same spot and slid right across4 lanes of traffic hitting the curb across the street. I got in my car and went up the street ato nitify the police and realized they were putting cat litter on the street where the car responsible for the fluid on the street had died leaving a trail from where I had my accident all the way to the next light 300 yeards up.
Brent knows where this happened. when Brent, Nick and n8r came to track day they stayed at the Holiday express just around the corner from Baskin Robbins and Taco Bell where this happened

I had an accident this summer...
I was leaving subway in my hometown headed back to work. Look at traffic, cuz I gotta jump across all lanes of traffic. See one car coming, blinker on..nose diving. So I punch it to get across intersection, I ended up hitting that car in the right front fender and tire..It sucked. Had to get a new front bumper after that one. Luckily it didn't go on insurance, I cut the guy a check the next day and worked 2 months to pay for my car...had to drive around with white duct tape on my front bumper.
But on a happy note..I haven't gotten a ticket in over a year

Thank god it wasnt an accident, nor anything serious, but my car has been put through plain ****in hell. My front bumper is all rock chipped up from travelin to school, and has little parking scratches, from others, im extremely careful and considerate when parallel parking, I wont go into a spot unless I KNOW its big enough. My mom scratched my passenger side side-skirt parking when i first got the car. Some one smashed into my rear bumper about 4 months ago parking, cracked the driver side tail light lens and a nice crack in the bumper. The whole back of the bumper has just about every damn car in my neigborhoods paint on it, unless I removed it, then there are scratches. The passenger side of the back bumper was scraped by a taxi while drivin, I didnt wanna deal with it so I jus waved him off, this was after the first rear bumper incident.
Just the other day I had my car parked at my intersection and I guess there was a new bus driver on the route, so he decided to pull this pretty tight turn and cant, he miss judges and backs up to correct, a little too much though, his bumper goes through my passenger corner lamp and almost through my fender, theres a little scratch on my bumper in the general area that follows the pattern as well, I don't think he did it, but i'm gonna try to get money for a bumper from insurance as well.
Thats my sob story lol. |

I have had 3 mustangs in a row now, since 97, an 86 vert, a 94 vert and the 99 GT, the closest thing to an accident I have had was when a woman hit my rear bumper in the 86, her insurance company wrote me a nice check and I polished off the "damage" with some polishing compound and wax.

I had one this past summer. Was working 8-10hr days then gooing out with my friends till 2am everynight.
Was driving home at 2am and fell asleep. Went off the side of the road, hit a street sign that damaged my hood, fender and ripped my front bumper clena off. Curb chewed up my rims pretty bad too.
Could've been worse. I woke up as soon as I hit the curb, a gaurdrail began about 5-10ft in front of me, and there was a ditch/woods to the left had I gone that way.
My last one was 2 years ago...tryin to keep up with a WRX in the winter, spun out on the ice-covered on-ramp to a highway and hit the gaurdrail.
I haven't had any accidents involving another car/person tho...just shit that happens to me or my stupidity.

It's been better than a year since I had one. I don't believe in curses, jinxes, or other such superstition...Unless I'm watching football, in which case standing up and pacing around in front of the TV seems to help my teams in critical situations.

The only time ive ever had an accident was I was driving through a parking lot following some bitch that was driving about 2 mph... well i got impatient and decided to go through the parking spaces in the lot and veered off to the right to start doing just that. Well at that very moment the dumb bitch in front of me decides to pull into the parking space that i was driving in at that time and i nailed her front fender of that piece of shit probe and crunched it all in, screwed over her wheel cover, and all that happend to mine was a crack in the bumper, some of her paint, and an area of paint gone on my bumper along with a lil chipped plastic from my left turn signal (which ended up in me getting clear corners) We never filed it on insurance, just bought my saleen bumper instead and cut the bitch a check which never went to fixing her car anyway.

the week after i got my car somone backed into it, denting the right front fender up. a while after that i drifted around a corner, the same one i drift around all the time, except this time for some reason i went sliding up in some guys yard. bottom left part of my bumper smacked into an embankment. caved it in, but i popped it out with a hammer and you cant even notice it. there was a tree right behind the embankment, so i guess you could say i was lucky. tore up the guys yard pretty good. didnt stick around long enough to talk to him tho, was late at night and i hauled ass outta there. can still see the tire treads on the road. then about a week ago i got a ticket for reckless driving, and i gotta go to court for that on the 15th. so yeah, i'd say theres a good chance of a curse. |
