Default Bad Luck, Kharma, or should get rid of her?

Well ... ladies and gents ... I've had "Victoria Gabriella" since November 2003, and it's been tagged 5 times while being stationary. All minor. Other than my driveway, I do park in BFE. To qualify and give a bit more clarification... First time was a joy ride by my step-son, screwed up wheel (I hide the keys now). Second was some jamoki from NY with a rental that decided to back up in a drivethrough. Third was my wife backing into it in the driveway. Fourth was a mysterious appereance of a back bumper scratch. And last is my wife AGAIN backing into it. I am disgusted and am inclined to get rid of her and maybe get an '05. I am building a house and can't wait to have her garaged. So, tell me my fellow owners and enthusiasts, what should I do? I am about that close to selling her!

Keep your car and get a wife that can drive, that or take her car away from her! That'd take car of 2 of the collisions.

My wife gets worried about sitting in mine, if she backed into something TWICE with it, she would never drive it again.

Exactly WHAT part of this is the cars fault?!?!?!?!

Seems like you are placing blame in the wrong spot.





On the other hand..............you have probably upset your car by even THINKING about it, sooooo.

How is getting a new car going to fix the problem of a wife that can't drive, a step son that takes it for a joyride, and morons that hit your car?

LOL OOOOOHHHH YEA! thats right it would! Never know, maybe 4 at that. The mysterious bumper scratch could have come from the same source as 3 of them.

"Bad Luck, Kharma, or should get rid of her?"

as your title states ... which her were you speaking of the wife or car? J/K

Get her driving lessons on the track or make a note "look behind you" on the steering wheel of her car ...

there are lots of idiot drivers out there .. had a few mishaps with my Lexus but I still have her

I had a similar situation with a 88 red Prelude. Every six months someone would vandalize my car with eggs, paintballs, and the occasional parking lot ding and scratch. I would have had a very nice car if it wasn't for the vandalizing.

I don't have any enemies... it was pure coincidence. I am pretty sure most of it was being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the car was red.

I sold it already and now have two vehicles. And have been only tagged by one egg so far (thank god not the S). But, I think I broke the bad karma cycle!

if you parked in front of your wife that would seem to solve half of your problems.
