Angry Black April

How many of you have had something nasty happen to your car in April? I managed to scrape the underside of my front bumper on a curb but luckily you can't really see it unless you're specifically looking for it.

Anyhow, vote away....

A tall F150 backed up on my front end and dented my bumper with his hitch.

No damage so far.
However, I'm still getting over the of someone other than me committing a sex act in such close proximity to my TSX.

Nothing was worse than the winter season, but my rims were damaged heavily during this month, mostly my fault though

TSX was parked at Will Rogers Elementary School when the thoughtless, mindless, dead brained maintenance crew used a weed wacker to launch rocks, glass, grass and everything else at the side of the RED TSX. We now have chips on a car with less than 1K miles on it!

I got struck from behind by another motorist. My TSX suffered over $1,300 worth of damage. Other than the bent muffler and scratched bumper, much of the damage was underneath and some slight frame damage....argh!

Haha, Well it is not so bad for me. I always get a refund. I love deducting expenses from my business, maybe someday I will actually try to sell something. :P

Angry Close Call

The wife and I went to San Diego on April 30. I was hesitant to take the TSX because of the April hex but the joy of a TSX roadtrip was too much. We park at the hotel, underground parking, open to the outside. When we return to the car I find all this black stuff on the hood. Turns out the people on the balcony above were smoking and dumping all their ash on the cars below. So there are all these ashes and cigarette buts on the hood of my TSX. :angry: I couldn't believe it. Luckily, they were not burning when they hit so once I got going the wind swept them away. But, had one of those butts been burning, I would have been royally pissed. I'm glad to say I survived Black April by the skin of my teeth. Good bye, April, and good riddence. Hello May.

Yeah, April got me parking in the garage--at least it's pretty minor--on the right rear quarter panel scratch. I never really have a new car unless I give it a scar during the 1st month having it!
