Why Are Our Cars Being Bashed Up!

Today is the first morning in ages when a member hasn't told that sad story of our their ride had been violated through some impact. I kept wondering if the 300's were having more than their share of impacts compared to other cars or was it just noticeable because of the forum. I also wondered why alot of us were rearended and if our tinted tail lights are causing any problems out there. I hope what ever is causing this to happen STOPS!.

I'd appreciate if anyone has any theories on this.

regards Michaelr

well I was parked all 4 times my car got hit.... 3 times the rear bumper was scratched, the last time ripped off the car..

now that bad luck bumper is gone...


it's funny that a black car parked on white cement parking lot next to a white building is apparently invisible to everyone..

It seems to go in waves or cycles if you will. We will have a rash of members with similar types of accidents, speeding tickets, reckless driving, etc. I guess it just goes with the territory. For a while we had a rash of members having their emblems ripped off, and then some had their wheels stolen, or the entire car stolen. I’ve never read where anyone stated they believed the tinted tails caused their rear ender. I just think once in awhile there happens to be more idiots on the road than others times. So be careful out there!!

I hope it's not because of tinted tail, I think it's just idiotic drivers not paying attention to the road. stop yaking on the phone, playing with the radio and just pay attention to the road. Or it could be they're just fixsated on the tail light seeing how cool it is who knows, but I lean towards my theory of idiots drivings.

To many dumb drivers on the road that shouldn't have there licence. I see people backing out of spaces all the time without looking out there back windows. They think they can see perfect just with there mirrors and don't even bother checking there blind spots.
