Unhappy So far 2010 has been a disaster for my baby...

As some of you all know I've been getting worse luck this year. And last night hits again. In chronological order for 2010. So far over $1,000 of cost and piling. My time wasted = priceless!

*Note all occurrences are a different places*

January (2nd week)

Rear Windshield thrown at - cost $260 including retinting



January (3rd week)

Rear Ugo Spoiler Stolen cost - Don't want to know



January (4th week) CEL, VSC, VSC Off "Limp Mode

Still not fixed Changed TPS, MAF, and tomorrow I'll try the Lever Assembly



February (3rd week - last night) Someone Side Swiped driver corner lens off

Dude..you've definitely got someone trying to give you a message. I'm pretty sure that these aren't little kids that are doing this.

Either your luck isn't good to you or like I said someone is trying you.

I would either chill in the backseat with a suprise or get like an 8hr video cam hooked up to your pc/laptop and record the car from your apt/house window.

I hope I dont receive and infraction for this... ::Rolls eyes::
