Rastus All-Star Author Dallas Posts:502 Points:2,423,790 Joined:Jun 2004	Message Posted: Apr 24, 2010 6:36:35 PM Ignore Rastus Report Abuse I bought my wife a brand new 1966 Oldsmobile. It got hit so many time in the parking lots that we lost count. A friend once called and asked if anyone was hurt in the accident. We called it the blue bomb. I believe some cars attract bad drivers.

dtrjudy All-Star Author Dallas Posts:878 Points:143,135 Joined:Nov 2008	Message Posted: Apr 23, 2010 3:14:32 PM Ignore dtrjudy Report Abuse OMG,I knew I was snake bit, but this survey proved it. I've had my car in the body shop 5 times since I bought it. All but one time the car was parked or standing completely still. Rear-ended twice, hit in a parking garage twice, and one accident where sunlight over a roof blinded me to a car at a four-way stop. That one was, of course, my fault. However, my 2002 Honda has nearly got a brand new exterior, one piece at a time. I just got it out of the shop yesterday after it was backed into in a parking garage. Maybe there is a target on my car I don't know about?
