holy effin christ!!
1) bought the car with a jensen dvd player. it crapped out 3 days later.
2) the price sticker on the car covered the crack in the windshield, which i had to get fixed.
3) i forgot to pull the parking brake one night and the car rolled down my driveway and into the across the street neighbor's fence. the night ended with me on the curb in my boxers talking to the police. oh and on a sidenote, the car barely tapped another car behind me. now i have two red spots on my driver side and plenty of scuffing on the rear bumper.
my last car had the alternator go out one week after i bought it. the radiator blew one month later. then it was the heater core one month after that. then i got broken into and my stereo was stolen in addition to a broken driver window.
i haven't had all that much bad luck, thankfully. *knock on wood*

hmmm. ill play
1.) dented fender right on the body line because i was frustrated and punched it.
2.) first person with a wire tuck leading to fuse a box full of ice and 2 blown relays
3.) battery relocation and ran the hot wire under the car instead of in it, forgot to tie it up and it rested on the axle resulting in it being worn all the way through, destroying an axle boot and tweaking out my whole cars electrical system
4.) completely destroyed coilovers that im still rolling on
5.) 3 inch straight pipe exhaust which sounds like ***** above 3K and has gotten me like 3+ tickets
6.) getting a ticket for being to low. lulz
7.) making my own custom upper badgeless grill, holding it on with zipties and having it fall out on the highway when i hit a huge bump. never found it...didnt even realize until like 2 weeks later...that would explain the weird noise when i hit the bump
8.) buying 05-07 tails without a harness, ghetto rigging them and blowing up the reverse lights along with melting the holes they go it
9.) backing into a garbage can which broke the small section of my OEM rear lip
10.)spending $200+ for sound deadining only to rip it all out later
11.) mis reading fuel gauge from my LED swap that i have yet to correct cuz im to lazy
12.) forgot to tighten 2 lugs on one wheel, went to wash my car before a photoshoot and was already running late when i realized they were missing. drove without em for about a week
im sure theres more but thats all i can think of right now.

Hmm..
1. Went to buy my car that I had worked papers on the day before to find out the dealership was trying to sell it to someone else also.
2. Had the car 3 days and cut the OEM muffler off
3. Found frame damage to my brand new car.
4. 17k miles on the car. I take my brother to the eye doctor and come out of the office to a lady asking if that was my car and handed me my bumper. A lifted truck ran up over the hatch of my car and pushed me into a telephone pole. She didnt have insurance.
5. Curbed one TRD rim I had.. Got ____ed because I curbed one and wasnt paying attention then curbed the other side.
6. Involved in a hit and run
7. Left a movie to find a condom hanging from my antenna
8. Covered my headliner and changed my mind.. no way to fix it
9. Bought a Jp Vizage kit and sold it before I even put it on
10. Bought a S/C to realize I wanted a turbo instead.
.... that's enough for now
