The worst luck wit h Audis!!!!!!!!! (pity me)
I think my Audi 90 is cursed with bad luck. It has been the victim of
several minor accidents over the last year, none our fault, all fixed by a
great local body shop.
BUT NOW, we have crossed the line of bad luck onto the side of cursed! The
car was rear ended 3 weeks ago, mostly bumper damage no big deal. THis poor
rear bumper had been rear ended twice and repainted twice in 6 months. The
bumper was repaired/repainted and we picked it up on friday night. NOT 24
HOURS HAD PASSED when, we parked the 90 in a parking garage in downtown
Orlando for dinner (Church Street). As I was parking my friend said " are
you sure you want to park on the end like this?" my response:"yes, we've had
such bad luck with door dings, I like to park on the end of a row so at least
one side is not subject to door dings." Well, when we returned to the car 2
hours later....someone had side swiped the rear bumper on the exposed side of
the car, ruining a 24 old paint job! I flipped out, screaming, yelling,
almost crying. WHAT DID I DO TO DESREVE THIS??????
This is all true!!!! So now i'm looking at painting the bumper for the THIRD
time in 6 months, this time it's out of my pocket......The only one here with
good luck is the body shop that will be naming their new paint booth in our
car's honor!
