Mazdaspeed Curse...!

[Hercdriver]

Do you guys go to church? I do and mine is nearly perfect (thumb) . Knock on wood. Of course it helps that I don't ever drive mine... 3,300 miles and keep it in my garage.

I had my car two months and got hit by a lady that ran a red light while mine had been green for a few minutes. Final tally.... $6k in damages to my car. Looks brand new thought, body shop did an A+ job. And I got money for "depreciated" value. Your car has to have at least 20% or more loss of value to get the extra cash for it.

oooh who do you have insurance with? I've never got extra cash for an accident. I get cut off everyday. It's inevitable.

My list is growing but not too bad:

Hit by an egg from an oncoming car and it blew off a ton of paint on impact - repaired and repainted
Turbo was leaking oil - replaced
Exhaust cracked - replaced
Multiple Pine cones hitting the roof from very high pines (150ft plus) - small shallow dents in roof
Windshield Chips
Common Rock Chips on the hood and bumper
One small chip in the door that I think came from a truck on the expressway

Not too bad I guess. I think mine has less to do with luck and more to do with being very particular about my car and noticing every little flaw.

Oh yeah did I mention the door ding with a scratch or multiple chips on my hood. Also my sister's cracked windshield and she got cut off and curbed a wheel...

 

[Maz_Speed13]

so far all i have is a slight dent in the hood, which i cant fogure out how it got there i can only guess some drunk person sat on my hood one night cause i havent hit anything and nothing has fallen on the car while i was in it. so who know?

4 dents punched in after getting into a fight at a club...
1.5 ft scratch on the rear QP
And rear bumper backed into with scratches on the side...
all in less than 3 months
talk about bad luck...

I rear ended a guy at 5mph, and put in a few little scuffs. A few coats of wax, and some black car polish and its almost all the way gone.. and only noticeable up close.
A few minor rock chips, and one curbed wheel this winter hitting a curb i didnt see when i was out pullin the ebrake.

I suppose ive had good luck, other than those, and my steering wheels had a minor scratch on the bottom leather since i bought it.

I dont think our msp's are "cursed" so much as these things happen to every car. :-/

 

[Puckpimp71]

I was ALMOST cursed again yesterday when some lady in a old Beretta just about took me when she tried to change lanes while I was RIGHT NEXT TO HER. I make a point of staying out of people's blindspots, but damn... I've never had so many near brushes with accidents in one car! I think in the two weeks I've had my 'speed I've had more close calls than since I started driving.

 

[marashka]

a guy at my work dropped a window A/C on my rear bumper......SUX, had to spend all last saturday fixing it.....made out with 200 greens thou. could 've been worst.
close calls on the road increased dramatically as well. people just wanna see what my MSP can do i guess....

Has anyone thought about putting Clingwrap or Saranwrap on your bumpers? It sounds gay, but since it's clear, you really wouldn't notice it!

[mypfizzle]

Thanx a lot.....dont think i'd be using it thou...prolly looks gay when it starts to come off, "i'm trying to keep my car fresh".....hehe
i feel like a dumbass (bang)

 

[RiceCake]

Hmm... Just picked mine up yesterday to find that one of my racing harts were already curbed!

That stuff is so thin that I really doubt it'd help. You could probably drop a grape from 4 feet and break clingwrap.

 

[RiceCake]

I put 3m on the front end of my car... it resists the rock chips quite nicely... Not sure if you guys have that down there though.

In my first weeks owning the car, I bumped some lady while merging in traffic - both of us new cars - NO DAMAGE!! THE NEXT MORNING... some lady not paying attention - bumps me in the rear! NO DAMAGE!!

Then, last Friday, I'm at a stop sign, and trying to turn right into B2B traffic - when I gfet an opening I go and stop 2 seconds later... a 4 INCH crack appeared in my winshield and grew to 9 inches since today. I brought my car to the dealership this morning, and they just called to say it wil be replaced free, as well they are going to paint my rear brake hubs a nice silver to get rid of the rust.

BTW, people in tuned cars IE civics and GTI's HATE US and OUR CARS and WANT TO RACE AT ANY OPPURTUNITY. Yesterday I had some loser in a cavalier Z-type with white wall winter tires on steel wheels, cut 5 people off just to pass little ol me, he even passed someone in the ON-RAMP lane. Fucktards....

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE PEOPLE, THE OTHERS ARE JEALOUS OF OUR NICE VEHICLES...
