Ok. My car is really cursed. I'm leaving work today, right, and it had just rained a few hours prior, so my tires are a little wet from sitting there all day. Well, I go to stop at this stop sign behind this Ford Ranger, nope. No stopping in time; my brakes lock up. I try to turn to the left to avoid him, only to catch my passenger side light assembly. Pictures are attached. So, I'm thinking: is my car really cursed? I had my other 240sx for three years without ANY altercations. WTF? Do I need to sell this biotch? rome <---- really crying in the corner

Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4What should I do?

man, your car is too sweet to give up on. Seriously, I don't know if there is a better looking S13 coupe out there! Sounds like you just had a run of horrible luck. Get that bad boy fixed up!:D

You won't get your money back on it if you fix it before selling it anyway...

jerome, how hard did you work on getting the car looking as BA as it does now? how many months of not having it did you wait? how many times did you think "dang i wish i had my car....."?? too many to count, even i know this. so why, when you went through all of this money and torture of not having her, would you want to sell her? so what, you have the worst luck known to man, big deal. i say fix her and turbo her sweet arse.

Brake upgrades? Perhaps thats why my brakes locked up in the first place, 30mm calipers with Axxis metal master pads and stainless lines up front?....Hmmmmmm

Well, I'll tell you what. Your car may be cursed for wrecking, but mine is for just plain breaking. So, wanna trade? Mines an S13 coupe also. The paint is in pretty rough shape and I have a few dents, but I haven't been in any accidents with her. ****, well, lots of **** has broke though.

So, I'll trade mine (engine wise it just needs a new head gasket, so far) and you give me yours which looks like it needs some body work. Hell, I don't give a ****, I'd drive it to school like that, still be the best looking car there.

man are you crazy, i cant belive your even playin with the idea of selling it. Man i saw your car at the Balance Meet and its nice as hell. Just fix it, the damge isnt that bad, a new hood, side marker and some good body work and she'll be good as new. And plus what will you drive if you sell her.
