Sounds like my old 90q. Every time I parked it somewhere, it acquired 
another dent- a couple of them even when it was parked in front of my 
apartment. Then there was the time it'd been snowing and I had to swerve to 
avoid running over an old lady who'd fallen off her bike, and I hit a kerb 
destroying a precious 15x7 Ronal... or the time I turned onto the road in a 
torrential rainstorm, only to be pushed off by some moron running without 
lights and 'forgetting' to yield. Nowhere to go except for straight into a 
traffic sign... or the time I had to brake hard and hit a diesel slick on 
the (wet) road...

Glad I'm no longer the owner of this car. I've done an incredible mileage 
in all my cars, but haven't had so much bad luck in all my other cars combined.
