I hereby christen the Velocity Red CURSE

That's right... my car has not been out of the body shop for 3 days from the last time I was backed into and guess what? I was just backed into AGAIN!!!

This is ******* ridiculous!!! 3rd time I have been backed into in less than 60 days! What the ******* hell is with people???

This bitch didn't even leave a note so now I have to pursue legal action with the security tapes from Target. I am raging so hard right now. I want to enjoy my car for ****'s sake I haven't been able to drive it looking nice for 2 months now.

LOOK BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU BACK UP! Is it that hard? Jesus.

Dude that really sucks. While it's in the body shop ask them to paint it a different color. I think even silver would be better than that.

Hah here's a recap of the times I've been backed into.

Last summer: Dad backed into my car in our driveway. (front driver side)

February: Kid backed into me in the parking garage without looking behind him once, I was sitting in my car. (front driver side)

March: Dad backed into my car again in our driveway. (front passenger side)

Today: Stupid soccer mom backs into my car in a Target parking lot. (rear driver side)


My poor car isn't gonna have any factory paint left on it.


You can't even imagine the rage that boiled up inside of me when I walked out and saw my car today. I just got my car out of the shop 2 days ago.

I'm starting to get pissed off at the people who say "get a different car" or "that car has bad luck." I don't understand why people are blaming my car? I blame bad drivers.

I've said this about a dozen times today: I'm not gonna let other people's stupidity and inattentiveness dictate what kind of car I drive.

That was a joke... you don't think people actually believe that certain colors of 8s are cursed? The people that tell me I need to get rid of my car have been dead serious.
