You don't need to get rid of it, just get yourself a rabbit's foot or horseshoe

So, if you are having "murphonic resonance" issues like I am, skip the shoe...

I have it garaged since mid July but 2 of the accidents happen in the garage.
ORIGINAL: cekim
1. I think I see the problem - you are parking outside! Your car is upset and has put a hex on you...
2. I find that threatening to sell something either:
a. makes it fail in a catastrophic manner - thus providing closure
b. makes it work perfectly - thus requiring recurring threats to keep it in check...
Sorry your stang is cusred - buy her a house with a nice big heated garage and if that doesn't improve perhaps a freind?

I am thinking of selling my car. I have nothing but bad luck since I got it. I got the car in Mid January.
1) 2 weeks after buying it a snow storm hits. I need to shovel my driveway. Being extra careful not to scratch the car with the shovel, but doesn’t matter I scratch it anyway.

RE: Thinking of selling my car
In a way thats kinda funny because NONE of it is the car's fault (breakdowns etc). Instead its something like YOU are jinxed. Kinda like we think this poker run we did on the bike this spring was jinxed because now not only have we gone down on the bike (hubby broke both bones in lower left leg and life flighted when they found no pulse...lucky me only scrapes bruises and pulled muscles), a friend of ours went down that day and broke his arm on that poker run with his gal on back of the bike. This monday another gal that did the poker run also was hit by a car in a parking lot. Lot of bike damage but no broken bones, just scrapes and bruises! We are waiting to hear if anyone else that did that particular poker run gets hurt this year!

RE: Thinking of selling my car
I'll get this fixed. But afterward I think I'll just put a window on the garage door, park the car in there and just look at it once in a while.
If I want to drive I'll get a PS2 game and one of those steering wheels with pedals and drive those car around.
But really I do feel nervous around the car anymore. Is it worth having a car that you are afraid to get near?

7) Early July I am over my mother’s house and decide to wash the car, no problem with that part. But shortly afterward it gets dark and stormy and low and behold a hail storm, put some nice little pit marks all over the car.

What the heck??? Why did you let it get hailed on? You can always do something to protect it. Park it under cover, lay your body on the hood... something. Once we were working on our 65 coupe and had it taken apart so it was undriveable when the storm hit but we went in the house and found every pillow and blanket and covered her up to protect her from the hail.

It one of those things where your are sitting in the house and say to yourself, Damn it, it is going to rain and I just washed the car. 3 or 4 minutes later you say to your self that is really hard rain, look out side and say **** is that F'in hail. Where is my keys, my shoes ooh hell with the shoes go to the door and see it is stopping. By the time I would have gotten anything to protect it, it was all over.
