ok so here's my story and how every single car i've owned has :idb:me over at some point I've never wrecked or been wrecked into its always something mechanical, something small that keeps me from driving for a good bit. I was just hoping someone else has bad luck with cars like I do that way i wouldnt feel like a complete dumbass.
Ok....

04 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab:
1. Flat tires...2 of them on prom night when i was in HS.
2. Alternater went around 80k miles...while i was in the drive thru at the bank.
3. My dad drives a Diesel truck and used my truck one day... and forgot that my truck doesnt take diesel. Drained the tank then my fuel gauge broke.
4. Now this truck needs a new ignition coil and has a vacuum leak i've yet to find.

86 Mustang GT Hatch.

1. First the clutch went out. So I dropped the tranny and slapped a new on in there.
2. Then it started to smoke, so I replace all the exhaust valve stem seals.
3. Radio went out, so i put in a new radio.
4. Speakers went out...so now i have no radio.
5. Brake leak while i was driving...I E-braked and Down shifted it all the way home.

97 Eclipse RS
1. Manual window rolling thingy broke...in the middle of a rain storm.
2. Went to get a battery recharged at Vatozone and the battery leaked all over my rear seats...all the threading dissolve and seats came apart.
3. Clutch went out.. and after putting the tranny back in one of my lugs broke.
4. Drove through a puddle..a really big one that looked small with a CAI and my engine locked up.(this was my fault)

2008 Civic SI 4 door.
1.Blew the engine a week after i got it at 2 oclock in the morning... at only 1200 miles. Piston stayed rod went straight through the block and i bent 2 valves...(it was honda's fault)
2. Hit a pot-hole and busted both right side wheels (which explains the ugly ass,cheap ass,painted black ones I've got on there now.

what's even funnier is you seem to remember the "cause" and "effect" of every incident. :)

Loved the window handle breaking in the rainstorm.

I've quickly learned if owning a German car (at least an older Porsche) you better have a spare car.

Three car accidents in a month, none my fault. One was a hit and run.
