Default The Curse lives..

Wife threw up in car at 500 miles.

Got a nail in rear tire at 525 miles.

Key locks in cupholder at 530 miles right after tint installer finishes.

1275 miles car was scuffed by a hit in run..



I'm on my knees praying that this is it.. I cant take it anymore..

I've read about many people having to deal with the "curse", i just never believed it..

How are you guys dealing?

At 500 miles, you should have thrown the wife out of the car.

At 525, the nail in the tire is just another case of "shizzle happens"

At 530...I don't know what you mean here.

and at 1275, pray that the guy who hits you gets diarrhea.

Ouch! The first ding is always the worst...after that you kinda deal with it. I'm sorry to hear your list though, good luck, hopefully the worst is over for you.

LOL, the wife more important than the car, but still I never had bad luck before.

With the key, well the car doors locked inside the car, didn’t know that could happened. Worse part was it was still half way between the installers garage door.

Thank God, I know a good body shop, suck to see $300 dollar go for this. I always feel people can’t see this car. It’s like they try to drive through it…

I hope this ends, I gave my wife the GS to have a more fun car, this isn’t fun.. LOL.

Thank for listening..

Ouch, so many problems but it looks like they're all minor. Next time pray harder.

Sorry to hear, but you're not alone.

Sadly, our cars can't stay new forever.
