I have bad luck
I have bad luck
Well, my first car was an 89 caravan that the parents gave to me. I fully rebuilt the engine, then 6k miles later the crappy dodge automatic transmission go out on me. I then buy a 92 SOHC 4 cylinder mx-3. I paid 3k for it!! It had 117k miles on it. I got the shaft..ok, i can take that. I was just excited to finally get an mx-3 I jumped on the first one i saw...later on I buy a 93 black on black GS for $4,000, all the goodies...i buy it from ebay and it turns out the valve seals are shot and it eventually blows on me!! Right before the engine blew, I was shot at by some thug mexicans for playing my stereo too loud, and it wasn't even me doing it! I was in the back seat, my friends were up front. I had 7 holes in the passenger side, 4 in the door, 1 in th window, and 2 in the rocker panel. That's okay too since I found a 93 SE that has a good door and window I can swap over, not to mention it has the all black interior and leather seats as well. So in the mean time, I buy that 93 GS SE for 1200 bucks. The thing has some rear end damage and is purple, but the engine is running strong, it has the interior I want, has a full AC system I can swap over to my black one, and it gets me to and from work until I have all my KLZE parts. One morning I go outside and my GS SE was towed!! I go to get it, and as soon as I pull out of the lot my idler pulley for my alternator belt falls off, causing the belt to go crazy and rip my other belt off as well!! My water pump fails, causing my car to over heat, causing a head gasket to blow!! I now have no car to drive, and have a week until my KLZE comes in. So in the mean time I get rides to work. As soon as my engine comes in I install it. I work out all the bugs over the next couple weeks, and start my exterior work. I swap both doors over and the hood. First day I have my hood sanded and primered I hit a dog and ruin it. I buy a hood from some *** on ebay, i receive it and it's bent!!! Then, the other day, at 2:15 in the morning some thug mexicans walked into my apartment and robbed me and my roommates at gun point (shot guns and AK-47's). What do they steal?? MY ps2!! My games!! My controllers!! What next????!!!!!

Re: I have bad luck
Oh I forgot to mention...at one point my deck and subs were stolen from my RS. Also, the guy that sold me the GS from ebay told me it had AC, and then when I get it, it turns out it came from the factory with no AC components whatsoever!!! I live in the desert too....well over 100 degrees during the summer...

Re: I have bad luck
Well, the weird thing is my stereo was stolen at the mall, I was shot at in the middle of the street downtown, and I live in a good neighborhood!!! That is what makes things so ironic....

Why was your car towed? Was it your fault...probably. The E-bay stuff can be handled...that is unless you've waited so long now that nobody wants to help you. Don't be lazy when it comes to bad sellers screwing you over. It's good for everybody if they get punished, it keeps them from doing it again.

Re: I have bad luck
I would love to move to Canada!! Their mx-3 meets turn out way better than any in America. I am going to be moving to San Diego when my lease is up so maybe my luck will change then.

Re: I have bad luck
Yes, it was my fault the car got towed. I was parked under the covered parking in my own apartment complex. I didn't have a little pass thing since they only give out 2 per apartment, even though I live with a total of 4 people who have cars. The part that gets me is I ALWAYS park under there. Alot of other people that dont have a pass do too. I think they singled me out since I had a purple mx-3
