Do you have car models that you consider bad luck?

Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of associated specific in animate objects with luck. I have my lucky socks, my lucky shirts etc. However, this time I believe that the Chargers are out to get me .

In the past month (30 days) I've ran into more legal issues involving Dodge Chargers than I have ever in my entire life. I'd like to note, I am a business professional, I do not come off as intimidating, I always remain calm and dress business casual at all times. In my city, Dodge Chargers do not make up the majority of the police fleet.

It all started with a rental Charger....

1) Got stuck in mud in the Charger (had to have a friend lift me out)

2) Pulled over for possession of stolen property (in a Rental Charger) at a road block in another province. (unknown to me that it was "stolen" - was worth under 40$ - nearly arrested and was roughed up)

3) I was ticketed for Jaywalking at a red light (turning green) with zero traffic in the vicinity by an officer who turned around on a highway onramp to ticket me. I spent 30 minutes handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser with no just cause for the handcuffs or being delayed. (It was a Charger)

4) Stopped and later arrested 3 blocks from my house by a police officer at 1 a.m. after walking 2 blocks from the bus stop and after 15 hours in the office for "suspicious activity". I was charged for something like loitering and have since had it removed from my record after a successful and short battle in court. Again, officer was driving a Charger.

5) This past weekend, I was arrested at a local store for unknown reasons during a police sting. I spent a few hours in the back of a Charger until they finally realized I wasn't the guy they were after. Yes, a case of mistaken identity.

Do you have any car models that you consider bad luck?

No car models that are bad luck for me.

On that note, I'd say you need to move.

Kinja'd!!!

Everyone time I see one, I get the sudden foreboding dread that I'm going to meet an idiot soon. It's like some crazy superstition.

350Z. Mine. Bought it without checking the carfax since it belonged to a friend of a friend. After being rear ended once (minor, just a bump), I pulled the carfax and found it had been in 23 TWENTY THREE accidents. Before I sold it, it was hit an additional six times.

That sucks. I have two.

I cautiously slow down and make character judgments whenever I see someone driving a Neon. Probably 99% of near accidents for me involved a Neon.

There is a traffic light I refuse to stop at in a Chevy. I had two grenade their engines while waiting for the green.

Run, man, run. Get the fuck out of wherever you live. That sounds terrible. Police brutality, handcuffed and ticked for Jaywalking, arrested for suspicious activity, arrested again for a sting on someone else, and worst of all, MUD. Seriously, the pigs in your town/city should all be fired for stunts like that. I know a few lawyers that would take your case.

That's amazing, same car, but instead my car somehow downshifts and revs all the way to redline when I am near one. Spooky stuff I tell ya.

No bad luck car stories but I did get my lucky feather tattooed on my ribs so I could never lose it.

Fuckin Panthers man. I haven't been pulled over by a Taurus PI (yet), but I've received both my bullshit (read: deserved) tickets from Crown Vics.

HOLY CRAP! I've never seen a carfax with more than a dozen!?!?!? That's insane.

Haha, the legal system here is a bit of a joke. Civil law is a PITA.

Cops here are known for brutality.

I'm half white, half asian (often mistaken as solely white).

One day. This isn't a permanent home for me (I move cities about every 4 years).

Especially since I paid an amount that, in my opinion, would be reserved for an accident free vehicle.

Just where is this shit hole where you have the ill-luck to live? Sounds like a place I want to stay away from.

Prius drivers can't merge and drive too slow, sometimes causing some major problems from the speed differential. I hate them.

The events transpired in two Canadian provinces. The primary one with 3 of the arrests is Quebec.

Fords. Dagnabbit, Fords.

SHO ate the 944.

Ranger ate the Lulzcer.

Seriously, Fords? Get. Off. My. Lawn.

(I guess I still have Mercs to root for in Supercars. Sigh.)

Yeah, I'd move. If you are describing your self as a well to do well dressed half asian/half white guy, you should be the least suspicious person around to be catching this much attention from the law. Do you live in a racist southern town?

are you by any chance black?

well it looks like the cops think you are

I live in a primarily immigrate neighbourhood which is predominantly black, however I'm asian/white that comes off as only white.
