1. One week after I got my brand new BMW some idiot made a very long and deep scratch on my hood. I just went

2. I opened (myself

) the passenger door full of verve right into a parking-ticket machine! :mad: :mad: :mad:

3. I drove along a street and in one little distracted moment i totally scratched up my recently mounted front right wheel

Note: I had three cars before this and nothing of it ever happened before...

Just checked my VIN ...666

Ledzep: You are not alone!

Wow Dante! We're having the same luck, you and I. You must be the Dante with the inferno!

Dante, Where in Southern Germany? I've never been to the fatherland, but would love to some day. Maybe European Delivery next time...

LEDZEP · 11-21-2005, 04:35 PM

So, I'm driving along the other day with the sun rising to my right, and glanced over at the shadow of my car against the concrete median divider... was it the smooth curves of an E90? NO! It was the perfect shape of a pentagram! I have also noticed that my car does not have a reflection in glass or mirrors.

Dante · 11-21-2005, 04:42 PM

I live in Nuremberg, famous for its gingerbread, bratwurst and its very nice and picturesque Old Town. Oh not to forget the one and only "christkindlesmarkt", which will start next weekend! You should definitly come around sometimes.

Town will be crowded by japanese and american tourists anyway

But what are you up to? ED for what car? Planning for e92??

Damn. Cannot decide between Alpine white and lemans blue. Man, I should do like you. Why not take both

LEDZEP · 11-21-2005, 05:00 PM

ED for my 2008 or 2009 BMW! Never to early to plan ahead.

sorry to hear but I think the 666 was on my previous car a vw passat.
One day I hit a stone and broke the windshield, few days later a rock
hits the roof and finally it was hit by lightening ... I am serious ....

Sorry to hear it mate. Hopefully they can fix without replacing.

Not sure if your real name is Dante, but if it is that would be too funny... My first name is actually Dante... We both would have 666 as part of our VIN numbers, and also the same first names...

No, I´m sorry. My first name is Christian, far less spectacular. Dante´s just my favorite nickname, I really like it.

But that would have been coincidence

JamieA · 11-22-2005, 09:00 AM

Sorry to hear about all this Ledzep. Hope all is right soon, and you are through with your bad car karma.

You could always consider killing a few chickens, and if that doesn't work drive to church and see if they will do an exorcism... Could end up like Regan from the Excorcist

LEDZEP · 11-22-2005, 09:46 AM

Thanks Jamie. I think somone is sticking pins in a little Alpine White E90 doll!

ABR · 11-22-2005, 10:02 AM

Did you try to spray it with holy water?

F32Fleet · 11-22-2005, 10:12 AM

Atlanta has a large problem with rocks. Trucking companies have lots of influence with the DOT, so it's impossible to fix the problem. I remember one day I cut off a guy in the left lane trying to get around a truck hauling sheetrock. This truck had a forklift attached to the rear of the trailer whose wheels were caked with mud.

My window of opportunity was closing fast because we were coming upon a large expansion joint in the hwy. I knew I'd get showered with dirt/rock if I was behind that truck when it hit the joint. Luckily I was beside him when we hit it. That damn truck must have dropped a huge clod of dirt because all I saw in my rear view mirror was a bright red cloud of dust.

bastard !

LEDZEP · 11-22-2005, 11:19 AM

Don't get me started. I could rant for days about trucks of all kinds!

northerncalguy · 11-22-2005, 12:53 PM

Damn, ZEP. Sorry to hear.

This is not cool. Why are the E90 windshields so f8cking suceptible to rocks? My Honda Accord was driven to the ground and never did I have issues with nicks and tiny pits due to rocks/debris flying onto the windshield. I am convinced something is not right...oh the same goes for the paint...it chips way too easily.

LEDZEP · 11-22-2005, 01:27 PM

The likelihood of something bad happening to your car increases in direct proportion to how upset you will be when it does. We're doomed.
