My car is a magnet for accidents

Checkout what some stupid you know what did to my car. First I was hit 3 days after I got the car in the front. And now someone took care of the back. It just pisses me off. She was in a F150 and she says that she didnt see me even though we were at a red light stopped in the day time. This light turned green and I started to go slowly and the stopped again because the cars infront of me didnt start accelerating very much and then BAM!! Mind you I had my foot on the brake so my brake lights were on and like I said it was in the day time but I guess I had that special invisipaint protection system . What really got me was that her insurance is going to pay for it but when I was talking to the adjuster she was like "Oh she might of hit you because you drive a stick shift car. I was like what the hell does that have to do with it? How many stick shift cars have you hit?

Anyways here's a Pic

Tell the adjuster that you *might* have whiplash and *might* consider a lawsuit.

He *might* realize what a dumbfuck statement that was.

The woman probably had the "I drive a big invincible truck" mentality, and doesn't realize they don't stop for **** because they are so overweight compared to a car.

At least you're okay, and the car will get fixed. It's only a car, and if she happened to be travelling maybe 10 MPH faster, things could have been a LOT worse.

yeah the important thing is that you are alright and you're not paying for the repairs. I really want to know what the reason for driving a stick shift caused her to hit you.

And get this, She was 8-1/2 months pregnant. If that didnt make it bad enough she was like I couldnt have been going very fast cause I didnt even feel it. And her husband was like yeah you didnt feel it because your in a 6000 pound truck vs a 3000 pound car.

this is why women + SUV = bad news. there was this woman who came to the shop the other day complaining that her brakes were squealing really bad... all 4 rotors of her ford expedition were warped beyond repair. the pads were COMPLETELY glazed over. even after buffing them, they still weren't good. we had to get new rotors AND new pads. her explanation on how it "might" have gotten like that was she was used to driving a honda civic so she wasn't used to the stopping distance of the car. she siad that after she realized how long it took to stop the car, she rides her brakes now. i think her exact words were, "i always have a foot on the brake now." ummm... HELLLOOOOOO??? anyone home? good lord! the expedition had 9K miles on it.

Sorry man. I've been hit 3 times since I bought my P5, none of them my fault. Had the rear bumper replaced twice and repainted for the other. I lost my last insurance case because there was a scuff mark and scratch from someone parallel parking too close. The woman in the SUV that hit me and her company kept insisting that all the damage (paint chips, stress marks, ALL of the attachment points for the bumper broken) was there already because of this stupid little scuff.

The military should use our cars for stealth missions, they're damn near invisible to other drivers for some reason.

She doesn't belong to the road.
Someone better tell her to stay away from any type of vehicle, not even shopping cart.
She might as well be the type of person that can put a dent onto your fender with the shopping cart.

i can't believe her insurance has the ***** to blame your stick for it. Even if your car was broke down in the middle of the road its her fault SHE hit YOU. I think the IQ and common sense of the chick are directly proportional to the size of their SUV. Unfortunately its inversly proportional. I really gotta say something though, to all the chicks out there. I will never understand this one. Things this ONE chick was doing while driving. Using BOTH mirrors (rear and side), and a compact mirror to put on makeup. I think the DMV limit on mirrors for makeup is none, stupid. BTW she was friggin ugly. In addition to this she was eating a friggin burger (prolly the reason she was ugly). Thats not all, she couldnt manage to drive in any of the 3 lanes at more than 10mph below the speed limit. I hate to see what her childhood coloring book looked like. Moral of the story here is this. When you drive your car you are limited to ONE distraction at a time. God SUV chicks **** me off
