The Cursed Car

Generally, we've always been pretty fortunate when it comes to our vehicles.

This current car though....
Its nothing fancy, I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to buying vehicles, its a simple Ford Focus. But damn our luck.

Last December we had a tornado. During that tornado, every piece of debris in the neighborhood that could hit the car DID hit the car. No biggie, we have insurance. Fix and go.

A few months later, while my wife was a a Dr.s appointment, a Dr. Pepper delivery truck crashed into it in the parking lot while she was inside seeing the Dr.

The company paid for the fix...we rolled on.

Just got off the phone with my wife. While in the Walmart parking lot, some lady just rammed the side of the car. Her and the kids are fine...but yet again my car is F'ed up.

I think it may be Wizard Marked with a "Ram Me!" sigil.

I've got a curse of my own that reared it's head yesterday. I've been hit twice in my life... The first time was 10 years ago when I was hit by a guy named Russell who was driving a pickup truck. Yesterday, i was rear ended... By a guy named Russell driving a pickup truck! What are the odds?

I noticed that some cars just have a low Luck score. I have been through more than my share of cars, I think. And there are (about half the ones I had) cars that just cannot stay roadworthy.

I had one that broke down a block away from my house one winter. It was really snowy and I lived on a hill. So my brother and I pushed it into the McD's at the end of the block. They weren't busy with the bad weather and all, and I figured I could just go take a good look under the hood when it wasn't snowing. Well, the snow turned into a blizzard and a tree overlooking this parking lot got knocked over. Right towards my car. The tree was shaped like a 'Y'. with each branch narrowly missing my car. Thinking I got lucky I checked the motor. Cylinders siezed up. No chance of fixing it.

Ask Slimy about his "wonderful" car. I'll give you a hint,"Its dead, Jim."

Hehe, sorry to hear this. I've had a few of these type of cars. Mostly it was my VW Beetle back in the day. It always started, but nothing else ever worked, or if it did, it was detrimental to my "auto" experience.

Egads, that sucks to hear DD. I hear you though. I hear you. Good luck in getting that sigil removed.
