Is it possible..

for a car to hate someone?

My car and I don't get along. In the last 4 years of driving my old car I'd only had one small accident on a stationery object.

Since taking over my parents old 4wd and moving up here, in the short 5 months I have had:

  • one major scratch, 
  • one dent at a shopping centre carpark, 
  • one scratch (from some other driver parking too close and hitting my door) 
  • and one big accident with my neighbour reversing into the side of my car as I was also reversing out of my carport.


Today as I went to start my car, the plastic part of my key cracked and broke.

Temporary repair with leucoplast at work. Sticky tape just snapped when I tried to turn the key again on my way out!
Luckily the key still works and I can lock/unlock and start the engine.

Nevertheless, I have a feeling my car is trying to send me a message.

What do you think?

    1. There was a random low pole in the back of some of the carpark spots at the shopping centre! It was too low for me to spot it in the rearview mirror so..BAM! dent in the back corner. Stupid designer!
