Default 2007 = Bad Luck

I think I'm screwed this year, let me give you a quick review and let me know what you think:

Middle of February I hit a patch of ice and wrecked the front end of the truck.

3 days later got rear ended in the same f#*king truck.

Truck was fixed shortly after.

4 weeks ago my sister backed up into the truck while it was parked at our parents house. Damaged the front bumper...again.

Truck was repaired 3 days later.

3 weeks ago while parked at a family party, my cousin hit the drivers side rear quarter panel of the bed, damaged the rear bumper, paint on rear quarter panel and rim.

Truck was fixed shortly after.


This past Saturday (07/09) while parked at parents house, my sister backed up into MY CAR damaging front bumper, and passenger front fender.

Car is in shop as we speak.

Needless to say I am very ANGRY at this freaking year. If this keeps up by mid July I might be dead. Has anybody ever heard of such a thing, I mean seriously, how many people do you know of has had 5 accidents in 6 months!

I would say remain hidden inside the rest of the year just in case.. Chances are you won't even see this because I'm sure your computer is about to bite it..

Good luck next year..

Dont ride with your sister! Sounds like you need about a 9 inch lift and some good bumpers.

We have all learned that you sister can't back up very well, Try parking in front of her!!! Sorry to hear that. My brother back his camaro into the rear bumper of my pickup once. But it was at night, and he has dark tinted windows. Plus the dew had already fallen and the security light (which was shadowing my truck) was causing a horrible glare on his back glass. Here's to good luck...

It's like the women in my family can't drive worth a crap, heck, women in general can't drive worth a heck! What makes things worse is that my parents don't want my sister (who's 21) to pay for the damage on the car. I should just get a skateboard or a pair of roller skates and leave to go to work about 6 hours earlier to make it on time.

Your truck has the same kind of luck my car had when I bought it.
