Originally posted by ez My 2g has been hit five times, each time I was at a total stop (0 MPH). I think some cars are just jinxed -rear-ended by dumb girl at an intersection at school -rear-ended by mercedes as I was putting gas in at a gas station -rear-ended by an integra in stop and go traffic -side-swiped by my grandma in her giant senior-citizen-sized buick -side-swiped/rear-ended by anatomy professor at school (my car was parked, he left a note!) But I'm not going to give up my car!
My 1991 toyota celica GT has you beat... I owned the vehicle for 9 months, and it managed to get hit 7 times...
-2nd week of owning it, woman backs in to me at school parking lot, with me in the car, waiting for a huge line to move, crushes door. - month later, friend of mine gets antsy over some little kid whistling at his girlfriend from the side of the road, stops, i stop behind him, he floors it in reverse.. Needless to say, after insurance settlement, hes no longer my friend. - After that happened, i was pissed, so i went to a friends party, got hamsauced, crashed at his apartnemt, woke up to a nice basketball size dent in my rear bumper, like the person next to me turned too early while backing out, and caught me with their front bumper. -2 broken windshields from baseballs flying over from college practice, i was parked in the "baseball safe" parking. May as well have been hit, each windshield was $550 shipped and installed.. -rear ended in a school zone. I was doing 20, she must have been doing 45 from the looks of the damages. -Insurance finally settled, got my rear bumper fixed. While driving home from the body shop, at a stop light, an illegal mexican woman with no insurance rear ended me so hard.. every control knob on my dash popped off, my sunglasses ended up in my lap, while my hat flew into my back seat, along with my ciggarette tray from the dash. Whiplash is a bitch. -I bought it back from insurance, after they totalled it out for $4,200. I bought it for $75, it ran perfectly, but the bumper hung straight down. I put a for sale ad in the paper for $900, the first guy to come look at it paked behind me in my driveway, somehow left his car in drive as he got out to look at it, and hit it one last time. Bumper fell completely off, he gave me $900, and an apology, drove away with my car on a trailer, leaving the mangled rear bumper. lol.
