My Car is Jinxed/PSF

This is our “leased car”. We never in our lives before this car have ever leased a car. We’ve always owned our cars and decided to try a lease because the car dealer we went through has a deal that no matter how many miles you put on a vehicle they don’t count against you if you go over the yearly mileage allotted for a leased car, as long as you either purchase or lease another car from their dealership when you turn it back in.

I’m not sure quite what the deal is, but we’ve had nothing but bad luck with this one.

I can’t even remember the last time I had to turn a claim in through our insurance before this car.

The very first booboo happened when we had a huge snow storm and got stuck in our driveway and had to call a tow truck to get us out. The towing company guy didn’t attach his hook to our frame, but to the bumper and pulled the thing right off.

This is booboo number 2. It happened when my oldest was driving and hit a deer back in April 2007.
This is booboo number 3. We’re not even sure how or when this happened. We’re assuming it was something that flew up and hit this wheel well (or whatever you call this) while someone was driving.

Booboo number 4 I forgot to get photos of but while in the parking lot of WalMart a little very old lady backed into my car and damaged the rear quarter panel.

This is booboo number 5. My Christopher backed into my friend Carol’s very big truck and damaged the tail light a couple of weeks ago.

This is hopefully our last, but definitely the most recent booboo. This happened on Christmas Eve. My son (obviously the most unlucky one of us) asked if he could drive my car to a hair appointment. The weather was quite balmy for this time of year and he didn’t think the roads would be slick, but was he ever wrong. He slid right off the road and into a patch of trees. You can’t see from this photo, but the rear passenger door also has a dent in it.

Remember peeps, this is a leased car. The lease is almost up which means everything has to be repaired before we turn it in in February.

Right now we are our insurance company’s worst nightmare.

This car is our worst nightmare.

    Holy cow! I don’t know what to say, except things can only go up from here.
    Right?

    That stinks. I think that car has some bad juju or something.

    Yikes…so glad I am buying both my cars. LOL
    Hope that it doesn’t cost too much or raise your insurance too bad.

  • david mcmahon

    Here’s the deal. Get your insurance company to redeem your frequent flier points.

    I still can’t believe what the tow truck driver did ….

  • latree

    well, I hope that was really the last one. no more until february :)

  • ..::Mrs. Staff Sergeant::..

    Oh my! This makes me glad we don’t have much snow here in Jersey or else my car would probably look like that too.

    Hope that’s the last of your bad luck with it!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog awhile back. Sorry it took me so long to return the favor!

    oh man..that stinks. I’d still be furious with the tow truck co. seems like they’d be liable for their part!

  • Izzy ‘N Emmy

    OMG! I really hope you all can get things fixed and rid yourself of the car. At least you are all safe and there hasn’t been anything really major.

  • Kelli @ Gohn Crazy

    Poor Car. Thankfully no one was hurt.
