I only believe in tempting fate.
If you think or say bad things may happen, sometimes they do, therefore say nothing.

Otherwise I am not superstitious (fingers crossed )

13 is a lucky number. It's really just a Western thing I believe.

I am superstitious. I'll believe what I can believe without much penalty. If I see a monk on the day I am planning to go to the Casino I probably won't go if I'm not really wanting to go.

The one superstition I worship by is taking pictures of your car will end you up with an accident sooner or later. A few friends and I share quite the same belief. I've had experience of such prior with other new cars and the S2K is not something I wanna start with. The other significant one is the eye twitching, can't remember which side is good or bad. Either side to me gives me a damn bad omen.

I'm not superstitious at all, and don't believe in fate. It all seems too trivial to me.

I am not superstitious at all but I was always surprised how many of the guys I raced with were.
Like no green cars, the number 13, no peanuts in the paddock,don't put your motor upside down on an engine stand,...
They would do the same little rituals before each race. Like putting their shoes on
the same way everytime like left sock,left shoe, right sock,right shoe.
Some would run with luckycharms in their cars or on themselves.

I had a green racecar at one time and ran with the number 13 a couple of times.
Maybe thats why I kept breaking??
Seriously, you make your own luck.
