Default The curse hits again!

Ah man it isn't that bad but my car was hit today while parked in my shop parking lot. I was ordring some parts when I hear a smash, then my alarm remote starts to beep and I was like this can't be good. I get up turn around and sure enough the guy is looking at my car. I cannot tell how bad it is so I am praying as I walk outside it isn't that bad. I get to the car and only the bumper is scratched and my clear bra is ruined. The guy had a 1983 Mercury with those huge steel bumpers and another foot to the right and my baby would have been pure destruction. Oh well what a start to the holiday weekend

Man, what's the deal with all these curses hovering over GS land lately? This has got to be worse than the curse of the Red Sox not winning a championship in 80+ yrs LOL (I know I shouldn't say that since I'm a Red Sox fan)

Anyway sorry to hear about the mishap to your beautiful DWP Jeff. Hope the Mercury guy and his insurance will do you a favor and pay for the damage.

Sorry to hear man. Can we even go anywhere anymore without risking this curse? At least the "victims" this year sustained minimal damage compared to what was going on last year. Still does not make it better.

Sorry to hear about your car. Since you were parked and the guy ran into your car, I'm sure your insurance will cover everything.

This damn curse got me last year. Perhaps offering a sacrifice to the Lexus gods will appease them and lift the curse. Maybe a set of tail lights or a roof spoiler?
