For all you who've had bad vehicle luck

Ever had one of your college professors clip the front of your vehicle? Well at the quarterscale tractor competition last weekend that is exactly what happened to me. The guy was nice enough to go get us doughnuts and orange juice since we were working so hard, so we let him use the 15 passenger van we had. On the way back he turned a bit short and clipped my front bumper with the back tire, he didn't even feel it or know it happened. The guys from Texas A&M saw it happen and asked one of our members whose vehicles those were, they had no idea it was our van and my car. Well I found out about it pretty quick and took a look, we all had no idea how to approach the guy about it. He is a great guy, but still, just how do you tell a professor he just hit your car? Well we finally told him, he took full responsibility and I just have to send him the bill. The damage was very minimal, so I just had a laugh about it, what else can you do in a situation like that? It'll all be taken care of with no problem, so unlike most people, I'm not pissed at all about it, just another incident to keep in the back of my mind.

Now that is funny, you should definetly be getting an A in that class

But, the damage isn't too bad, just a little paint and you should be set.

Let's just say on the West Coast, the TR's are a little more 'Rare'.

I witnessed the same thing happen on Thursday.

Some guy in one of those Isuzu Box Trucks tried to back into a space at a crowded parking lot. Which resulted in the back bumperof the truck puncturing the right front Fender of a Miata-which had an extensive amount of custom body-work done to it.

It also caused the crowd inside the Taco Bell where this was taking place to go "oooooohh" and "aaaaaaaaaahhh".

And it also caused one Miata owner to go $@$#@% and $#^#^!.
