Bad ****ing luck, Bitch about your bad luck!

[geno8r]

Ok... LANGUAGE WARNING STRAIGHT UP!

So i had my car in for a service today to get the steering spot on 100% before i go to the drags. i went to pick up my car this arvo & you wouldnt f#cking believe it, the owner comes walking out, "sorry mate i pranged your car", 'what' i thought he was joking @ first coz i looked @ the back & it looked fine, then he said "yeh really sorry i'll tell ya what happened" so we walk up to my car, 'owwwwwwww f#cking shit!', dammmmmmm, the side door was all pranged in & the front quarter panel too... farrrrrrrrrrrrk. The story went as: he was rang up told his mother was very ill in hostipal, he got in the big 4WD Cab chassis with big f#ckin bullbar type thing on the back & coz he was in a rush, smacked it into reverse turning without looking, & boom into my f#cking car.

There's no way i could be angry @ him, he's always treated me right so i just said sorry about his mother & that was about it. He said he would take it to the best smash repairs he knew & get it all fixed up, i know he'll treat it the best way it can be done, but the whole situation has just left me feeling really bummed & f#cking angry, just angry @ the situation & it has just proceeded after having a bad weekend *inc loosing my wallet on sat night*. So im just trying to deal with this stroke of f#ct luck. Already been down the gym & smashed some boxing bags, listening to some heavy music 'korn' now & i'll find out 2moro what damage was done exactly & how long it's gone be till i have my baby back... I have decals on my doors too, so i'll probably gota source some replacements now too... ARRRRRRRRRRRRR

Everyone else who has had something f#ct happen to their baby 'the line ofcourse' from bad luck, something not their fault, plz bitch about your story too... Let it all out! :cuss: cuss away. Coz if we bottle it there'll just be another ivan milat.

Some f#cker stole my plates the other day.....I thought I was pissed....you have just put things into perspective for me. Thank you.

[geno8r]

No problems m8, but i was hoping some1 would put things in perspective for me... :alcoholic

[REDFC]

I resprayed my car the other day and it turned out shocking!! Now i gotta strip it down and pay someone to respray it!

BIG BIG MISTAKE!

[PTR33]

A few years ago, but

I came home one day and my 3 year old 12,000km on the clock RGV250 had been stolen... Uninsured! D'oh.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your baby.

Drove my skyline to work last Wednesday

BIG MISTAKE.

Reason i had to drive was because i had to pick up some sway bars that i had on order. Normally i take public transport to work but i aint about to carry sway bars around. anyway on the way to work somebody drove into the back of my 'line. I aint angry, just REALLY REALLY ANNOYED at the inconvinience and the hassle.

Also a workmate of mine lost his license and wrote off his wrx by wrapping it around a pole about 2 weeks ago.

Anyway, sh!t happens, just hope the repair for your car & mine are done to a high standard.

mate, I picked up my 89 GTR 3 weeks ago from bond starage after having it sit in Japan for 10 months awaiting shipment/import approval. Then it gets to Brisbane and is stuck in customs storage for another 6 months (with daily storage fees accruing). This was due to the fact that the day after I paid (cash deposit into account) the broker all the customs/GST/fees my importer gets a letter saying that the broker has gone under. So, over 6 months later, I bite the bullet and repay all the customs/GST/fees again as well as the substantial storage fee. I finally pic up the car from Sydney bond staorage to find that it has been damaged and had the AFM's, intake piping, PFC ecu, fuel pumps etc stolen from it.

The day after I picked it up I broke up with my fiance.

Anyone want to put things into perspective for me?

[siksII]

i lost my license for 6 months, went back to the rta to renew it, they told me it was a 'double whammy' because i had also exceeded my demerit points limit, so i walked out with another 3 month suspension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had to sell my skyline!

getting license back in two weeks though.

[siksII]

I think NXTIME is the winner here... definetly :Owned:

Exactly, Morgs

No one will be able to wipe the smile off my face once the GTR hits the road

[geno8r]

Ahhh shit, sorry NXTIME thats horrible.... Yeh you just do whatever you can to try & get through it... Hopefully not too much booze & destructive disorder...:alcoholic

If im very angry or bummed out / annoyed I might: go to gym punch that boxing bag, listen to heavy music, & sometimes do something creative like designing a graphic of my rage helps me out, Driving my car listening to music is my greatest relaxant but thats something i cant f#cking do now...

Sorry to all the other unfortunate stories too...

[lwells]

NXTIME: Ouch. Condolences.

You want something to put things into perspective. My month of October....

Week 1, my mates mum dies of cancer. Its hard watching a 21 y/o mate bury his mum. Work hassles.

Week 2 and 3, my GF's grandma dies whilst on holiday in New Zealand. That was tough as the family is fairly close knit and so many hassles with it happening in NZ. More work hassles, as everyone is getting sick of the place.

Week 4. I thought stuff it, i'm gonna go get maggot. Have an argument with the missus about being a messy eater (i spilt macca's sunday on my shirt!). Go to sleep and two hours later i get a phone call from my mum..

3 of my mates, including my 2 best mates, were in a car accident. She has no idea who it was so i ring all the hospitals. 2 of the others can be found and are relatively ok. My best mate for the last 9 years since year 8 was killed, when the unknown 18 y/o driver hit the kerb at 65kms and the car rolled.... So me being very close with his family, i rang his dad at 3am to tell him what had happened. Ohh yeh the police hadnt got their at that stage.... After that my mum picked me up and drove me to the hosiptal, to see my other mates. That was just the beginning of the week.... It got worse. I get mild pannic attacks and i'm so stressed out at the moment (and i dont even believe in stress!!)

Try telling a 21 y/o's dad and mum at 3am that their son / your best mate has been killed.....

Ohh yeh and just last nite i get a knock on the door around 1.30am. Was our neighbour.. His next door neighbour and a VERY close family freind is having breathing troubles and had litterally almost died. 3 hours later, we got home from the hosiptal and all looks ok

Massive respect to all the police, firies and ambo officers that have been of HUGE assistances this last month.

It sucks to here about your car but least the guy was honest and your baby will be sorted out. Expect delays tho, remember it IS the auto industry!!

[geno8r]

Owwww dude..... perspective taken.... gezzzzzz very sorry about ALL of that...... All the best with the future is all i can say i spose... IF anyone can top dociles story i dont think i even wana hear it.

[docile]

Yeh mate, it sucks but you realise what lifes all about. All those minor problems go away and every day i wake up and think, i'm so LUCKY and grateful to be able to experience everything i have... Watching the sunset over a beatiful beach in perth really has new meaning. Our glorious summer days, have new meaning. Family and freinds are now closer. When the pannic attacks and stress goes away and going to go help the less fortunate.

Telling a mum or dad that their child has been killed in an accident is probably the hardest thing i will ever have to do.

On a positive note, i think i may have found a way to make people realise just how horrible car accidents are.. The ad's on TV do very little. They DONT save lives and IMHO never will. If i had a camera on everything i went through last week alone, i dont think it would even be allowed on TV.... It would however, make young guys and girls (just like most of us, me included) think about their driving alot more.

I had a head on smash in my WRX a few years ago because some smart girl decided to exit from the wrong side of the freeway. Apparently she didn't want to pay for the toll (TIGHT ASS!). And of all the people in the world that could've run into her, it had to be me (there was a Honda accord next to me, why not him?????)

Oh well, I don't think it's my bad luck. It was the car's bad luck cause I've been in a few bad prangs with it. Since selling it and getting the line, no crashes to date.

[Lithium]

Wellll - this year has been a pretty good one for me. Seeing as there is a place to vent!

I'm not going to give a detailed version, as I would be writing for AGES - but: dramas up until now in rough order for this year:

1/ An aunty of mine who is/was "famous" passed away - closely knit family and a very interested media and generally nosy people make the greiving process not easy.

2/ The same month this happened, a close family friend - and best friend of my aforementioned aunty died in a firey car accident. Sent huge ripples through the already reeling close knit family and friends.

3/ Fiancee's sister commits suicide the same week I am going through the purchasing my new car routine, after a long battle with depression (hard on her AND the family) had supposedly been won.

4/ Another funeral past, car successfully purchased - me and partner discussing that the nice new car hopefully looks like a fresh start and maybe some good luck? Nah. As we are having this conversation someone throws a large rock at my car, narrowly missing the passenger's window (ie, partners head) and leaves a large dent in the door. Get to a friends place, talk to police etc - and get to....

5/ ... a phonecall from the flatmate saying that partner's car has been stolen from home and his cars windows have been smashed.

5 (take 2)/ *phew* That last one not soooooo bad, partner's car not stolen... flatmate didn't realise her car was parked in my spot. Me and Partner go for a nice drive to unwind and lax out. One of the nice expensive 255" on the back of the Skyline bursts. Great. A new set of rear tires .

6/ Go to Speedtech drags (NZ based company holding a drag meet to do shake down runs in their car targetting 8s...) to try out latest mods. Turbo blows on warmup burnout for first run - we're 600kms from home.

7/ Got back home with a friend, arranged a truck and trailer to go back up and pick up my car - about 200km from home the truck breaks down. Arrange ANOTHER tow for the truck and trailer back to home, get that fixed... and THIS time successfully get back up, pick up the car and get it back home.

That last one happened last weekend - probably about my most unlucky year, can't wait until its over!!!

It seems to be the year for bad things to happen. I've had no where near the bad days that all of you have had, but my sisters mother in law died of cancer. Her body was riddled and when the doctors finally took a good look, they gave her 9 months. She died within 2. I didn't know her that well but I hate seeing my sister soo upset and an innocent life taken to such a deadly disease.

Then my grandad gets put into hospital with throat cancer. He couldn't eat. Then being in hospital, he had food in his lungs (cancer was on the flap that covers over your lungs when eating) which created an infection and got pneamonia and was put into intensive care. He was in a coma for 4 weeks (drug induced) to help his system try and recover. They gave him a 25% chance of survival. He's now 20 kilo's lighter and in a rehabilitation hospital learning how to eat and swallow again. He has NO throat muscles what so ever. I guess that happens when you dont use them for 5 months. He has been fed by a tube for the last 5 months and has a tube in his throat (about his chest bone) which he breaths through and talks through.

Anything else bad that's happened is insignificant compaired to everything else.

Thats the way i look at it now. When bad stuff happens to my car now, of course i get upset, but i look back and realise just how lucky i am to be having these problems... Unless its something fairly serious, i kinda blow it off now. I appreciate life so much more. October has taught me so much more about life. My mind has been opened so much.

The rest of the year was crap!! Breaking up with my girl after years, lotsa work hassles, lots of money hassles, car hassles, loss of license etc. Funnily enough it all means very little now.

The dreaded C word is one that i hate hearing. All the best to you, your grandad and your family nismogirl. Being strong and staying positive sounds good in theory, however it doesnt always work like that
