Slurp56 0 #1 April 12, 2006 It all started long ago, and by long ago I mean about 4 years. Picture me rollin'..... 1) Sept. '02 I'm driving in morning traffic, feeling the relief as I finally crested 60MPH for the first time in the hour long commute. Next thing I know, everyone hits their brakes, except for the lady behind me. Smashes into my '93 civic hatch destroying the back end. $6000 worth in repair and I'm back on the road. 2) Feb '03. Sitting in traffic on my way home, I see a guy careening up the on ramp behind me. He never did realize there was traffic until he went through my '93 civic hatch, totalling it. Best part of the story, he had no insurance and ran. I paid off the rest of my loan for the priveledge of being rear-ended. 3) Oct '04. Made my 2nd static line jump at Kapowsin. Riding my motorcycle home, I come around a blind corner to see a mustang drifting over the centerline as he speeds around the corner. Scares me and I put the bike down. 4) Dec '05 I imported a car from Japan, steering wheel on the right side and all that jazz, finally got it registered in march, after having sat on it for 3 years. Guy in left turn only lane decides to go straight and t-bones me. '92 Civic Hatch 5) Jan '06 I ran my '92 Civic hatch into a maxima after said guy failed to signal and cut my corner short. Short story, I got screwed and wiped the front end off the car. 6) Mar '06 The neighbors backed out of their driveway into my mom's '98 Acura Integra that I was moving out of our driveway. I had just parked curbside and *smash* there goes the front right corner. 7) Apr '06 After having sat in a line at a stop sign for the last mile, the lady behind me claims her foot slipped off the pedal just as I had gotten to the intersection and stopped at the sign. smashed back end, '88 Crx dx. I mean seriously... can I catch a fucking break?________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

jumpchikk 0 #4 April 12, 2006 I bought a brand new Honda Civic EX back in 96, didn't have the car two weeks before a girl decides she didn't need to stop at the stop sign and t-bones me on the left side...made my first car payment in a rental car...two years later, another woman hit the same side...the electrical box was on that same side, everything on that car was messed up after that. I traded that car in on a Jeep, loved the Jeep, but sold it and bought a Honda Accord EX...this car (I need to knock on wood) has been through a lot of stuff with me even going down I-75 backwards and spinning out of control at 90+ mph....and not a scratch or anything wrong with it...

BUY something else anything else then if it happens again you know its you and not the car brand yesterday morning on the way to work I was thinking about trading the car in and getting something else. I figured this was the only car I've owned that I havent been hit in and I should probably sell it before I get creamed. I was even online looking at used BMW M Coupes! Then today... this. None of my cars are stock, they've all been rebuilt by me, so they had more sentimental value than anything. I've attached 3 pictures, two of me working on the CRX that was hit today, and the other is the most recent picture I have, right after I got it painted and before it was fully re-assembled. I did finish putting it back together before it was hit though.________________________________________ I have proof-read this post 500 times, but I guarantee you'll still manage to find a flaw.

I once bought a car and drove straight to the DMV to register it so I could get insurance. Sitting at a stoplight on the way to the DMV, I heard tires lock up. A glance in the rear-view mirror gave me just enough time to take my foot off the brake...BAM! No registration, no insurance, I was NOT looking forward to the police showing up. Thankfully, the damage to my car was hardly noticeable due to the flexible plastic cover over the rear bumper. The guy who hit me had serious damage to his dropped Mazda pickup...he was literally crying till I said, "Hey, we both know it was your fault, the damage to my car is minimal...how about we not involve the cops and just go our separate ways?"
