Oh it lives in a cover craft cover in my driveway most of the time but the driveway accidents were when I was at friends homes. And i stopped parking behind driveways about a year ago. Getting hit by a bus must have been a real bummer.

It's the natural order of things. Sometimes yo draw the short straw. I too had a string of non-fault accidents, one which total my Integra Type R.

Sorry to hear about it.

I try avoiding parking on the street or other crowded areas.

My 06' was hit four times too, once really bad, ended up selling it and getting a G35 coupe, nine months later I found an 05' w/ 30k miles, happy days are here again!

This is why I drive paranoid of all the morons out on the road, people dont pay attention to anything that isnt theirs. Had a near miss back in the LBC at the round about on the PCH, I was behind a Miata and got an icy chill down my spine as I saw some whore in a Lincoln Navigator approaching, I quickly change lanes and sure enough she rear ends the poor miata because she was texting....

I feel your pain. So far, my car has been hit in the rear bumper four times and has just come back from the body shop for someone backing into my headlight while I was parked at home.

1. Stopped at a red light. Coworker stopped against my back bumper. New rear cover + paint.
2. Backed into a column in a poorly-lit underground garage. Paint only. This one's all me.
3. Pulling into a parking lot, car in front of me stops. Car behind me blocks me in. Car to my left backs out of a space into the side of my rear bumper despite my frantic honking. Way to pay attention, dude. New rear cover + paint.
4. Backing slowly out of parking space at home. Utility van driving down the middle of the two-lane parking lot manages to scuff my bumper. Paint only.
5. Two days after #4, stopped on the interstate for traffic ahead of me. Truck behind me doesn't stop and slides into the bumper. New rear cover + paint.
6. Came out to my car two weeks ago to find the driver's side headlight pushed back about an inch into the fender. New front cover, new paint, new headlight, new mounting brackets, front and side (due to blending) emblems. Up-side? No rock chips on the front anymore

Luckily, most of the damage has just been to the bumper covers. The rest to brackets, and none to the actual metal bodywork (so far).

I have no idea how they could keep doing this. Maybe my car isn't painted a bright enough color?
Maybe it's because I'm driving in their blind spot directly in front of them?
