Default had a run of bad luck with my car

I am really annoyed and angry atm.
2 weeks ago some idiot backed a truck into my car and damaged the rear quarter above the tail light.... while my car was parked outside work.... nobody saw it and no cctv footage.... so i am lumped with the repair cost....
today some idiot damn near changed lanes into the side of my car and i swerved to the left and smaked into the gutter... putting a nice dent and chip on my rim... only recently had a wheel allignment done too.... now i am concerned about front left suspension damage as it feels a bit more bumpy.....

and if i go back further my car has been damaged to previous occassions also no fault of myself.....
someone at work dropped a pallet on my rear quater... they paid for repairs atleast.....
someone smashed my windscreen and deeply keyed the drivers side of my car while parked in my driveway.... i fixed the windscreen but not the drivers side as it is from the front all the way to the back requiring the whole side to be resprayed....

really not happy..... really not happy.....

Hi,
That's just life, isn't it..
The probability of getting dents and scratches depends where you leave your car, and how many days a year it is exposed, compared with being safely left at home.
If you have a new / expensive car its more annoying getting dents and scratches.

It sounds like your work place is not a good place to park ;)

It justs really annoying especially when you.look at the fact that i have had the car for 18months. It has been damaged 4 times... all not my fault and 3 times when i wasnt even in the car...

...and the message that sends is?




Stay in your car!


Seriously though it happens to most people where we go through a run of bad luck. It's a PIA but we do come out the other side.

Some cars seemed to be Jinxed. They just have an aura around them that attracts trouble.
