Mazda 3s 5 door
does anyone have any incidents that they almost had bad luck in

ex.. the car was almost hit (well that basically explains it)
 
Yes.

And we're talking like, 4 or 5 incidents here. All but one of them involving other drivers that looked to be above the age of 70.

It seems everyone wants to kill my mazda. Crap, the lawn care truck that was ahead of me one night that lost a metal tie band took a nice enough nick out of my bumper as is. *sighs*
 
The way people drive here and with the amount of potholes road work and new detours every single day and everyone being confused on the roads. Every single trip on the road there is an "almost".

I Hear ya... And sometimes I feel like i'm the only one checking my blind spots. Sucks to drive over here :(
 
Well, My turn.
A few weeks ago I ALMOST got hit over my passanger's side front wheel by a no movement crashed car....IMPOSIBLE you say? at the same time I got paralel to the stoped car (me moving other not) a big SUV ran over the crashed car (hit the crashed car from the back) then the car AT THE SAME time took a hard left and thanks to my 3 first then to my driving skills I had a very good response and never got a scratch on my 3 nor me :)

I'd say thats an ALMOST here in PR, everyday has its own ALMOST LOL

Take Care and Be Careful...

Almost everyday out here in AZ, i get at least one stupid ass bird that thinks he can fly in front of my car windshield without hitting it. This happens at least 3 times a week, and everytime the birds get closer and closer to hitting my windshield!!! I am just waiting for that one bird to swoop down and not get back up!!!

same here man, when i bought my car on the way to the dealership i hit atleast 3 birds on the way there and 2 on the way back.

damn birds (dark)
 
I've had at least half a dozen 'almosts'... they're usually caused by blue-hairs in Oldsmobiles or soccer-mom's in gigantor-sized SUV's... the LAST one was just yesterday, and was my fault. I was super-tired and did a quick shoulder check and changed lanes. The shoulder check wasn't thorough enough because there was someone there. My wife was shocked, 'cuz she'd never seen me make such a dumbass move before. The guy locked up his binders to avoid me - according to her, it was VERY close.

Boy, did I feel stupid. I humbly apologised to the guy at the next stop light.
 
Inflammatory posts (and their replies) deleted.

There was a small dead bird found in the air filter box of our Altima.
 
I almost crawled back to my exgirlfriend of 4 days until i found out she made out with a person who i considered a good friend the day after we broke up. Yeah, fun night.

Same thing happened to me 2 months ago... BUT since I was driving HER car (POS cavalier), I had to go buy one of my own... Best thing that ever happened to me! (nana)

whoa, my post went somewhere...there was ntohing wrong with it, but it wanished(boom07)...oh well, I guess I have to retype since the internet made a hiccup.

"I almost bought an MZ3, but luckily I ended up with my P5 :D"

Yeah... that's inflammatory. You're insulting someone else's choice of car. That's not playing nice AND it's not the intent of the thread.
