brand new altima

someone came at me wrong lane and made me hit a curb ruining parts of suspension and front bumper
parked car, woke up to find 2 giant dents around sunroof
someone hit me in the parking lot, side swiped left rear fender
someone crushed my hood with tow hook
hail storm left bb sized dents everywhere (just waited for Texas heat to set in and they popped one at a time)
cat sleeps on my car and one night got in a fight with neighbors cat and scratched my trunk

all of this happened under 7 months of owning it with only 7k on odo

rebuilt my trans am, finally got it fired up

drove it around for a little

radiator blew out, apparently a stock auto radiator cant handle a t400, blew the whole bottom half of the radiator

swapped it on the side of the road

wasnt bad, thats about the worst of my luck

Bought Mercedes CLA 45 AMG

Before Accident
-Had window tinted at 4.5/5 stars yelp rate guy; found scratch in paint in lower right side panel on door while in possession of tint guy upon picking up car (he tried to have it fixed, only made it worse - refunded tint money)
-Window Tint Passenger side peeled (brought back); Window Tint Rear window had hair in it (brought back a week later); Window Tint Drive side bubbled wouldn't go away (brought it back again....)
-Windshield wiper defect; had to bring to service to get replaced. 2 Weeks later, same issue again, had to bring it again
-Got sandwiched at a red light (rear ended into another car)
-Took to Mercedes Repair Shop and they had a 2 month back order on a taillgiht since my car was too new and no extra parts in stock
-After 2 months and enough complaints, convinced general manager to take tailight from another car in his fleet to install into mine instead
-Front vent splitters improperly installed, started falling apart; had to take back to dealership and complain. Fixed.
(Con: Lost $15k in value per diminished value from accident; Pro: Car looks brand new like the day I got it from dealership)

After Repair
-DCT failing to shift properly between 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th (bought to Mercedes, dealer claimed they could not replicate issue since no transmission update available yet)
-Noticed rattle on driver side door (brought into dealer to fix).
-Noticed vibration at 60+ MPH shortly after they test drove it, brought back to dealer, their claimed their rep didnt cause it; 2 bent rims + 1 busted tire ($2300 replacement/realignment)
-Left dealer, on way home from dinner (2 hrs later) hit another pot hole, damaged same side rims and tires again (tire replaced under warranty, rims still damaged)
-Door ding at parking lot (paintless dent repair 150$)
-On way back home after repair, hit a rock on highway, cracked windshield (insurance covered repair but not replacement)
-Had car detailed after all that, believe dealer left small scratch on my front grill, but lacked evidence to prove it (Currently in process of filing a claim with DOT for repair money; cant afford to just drop $2k on this again)

TL;DR Fuck this car I think Its bad luck, I'm going to buy the 2016 M4 when it comes out. Giving this car to my GF and she'll take over payment since she wants/is attached to it

Bought a Honda Ridgeline when they first came out for my 16th birthday
Since I was under 21 my mom had to sign the papers. My grandparents paid cash for it

2 years later my mom said she's leaving and going back to California ( I'm like ok see ya bye)

Then she tells me she's taking my truck since its in her name and she bought me a Suzuki Forenza

I flip shit since my car has barely been driven 10K miles the last 2 years.

I'm like "no that's my truck and xxx and xxx bought it for me"

She laughed and said " well the pink slip is in my name so shut the fuq up"

6 months pass. My car breaks down. My friends dad and I get under the hood to find out what's wrong. catalytic converter melted to pieces and my spark plugs have oil all over them. So massive oil leak my engine is covered with oil.

Spend 500$ fixing the problem and another 1,000 on a new converter.

4 years pass with a fuck ton of mess ups and shit. My mom sends me a bill noted by som lawyer saying I owe her 5,000$ for the car.

I cal my mom raising hell and asking why the fuck she even took my truck. Her response? "Oh my boyfriend needed a nice car, but he sold it and bought himself a f150"

I'm furious as fuck again

3 months later so about last July. The engine blows in my car


Sold it for 1200$

Now I'm here at Honda

Own 2012 civic SI for my everyday
About to buy a Subi Wrx STI for my toy

Had 1996 crown vic, was making a simple left turn and the back wheels slid out, over corrected and the back end smacked into a pole. Got 2005 grand prix a week or 2 after, as i was driving my grandfather to the VA, a very old guy slammed on his brakes, causing me to rear-end him. In the state of Florida, its auto-at fault for me rear ending him, this old guy had two knee braces and had to get out of his car with crutches. I got screwed with that one. Then about a few months after that, a pizza guy backed into that same car, jamming my door. I just have bad luck with cars in general.
