Is my 350z cursed?
It seems like whenever I want to take my Z out to a big event, something bad happens and the car is saying 'no' to me. First I prepared my Z for a parade, I spend a full day replacing the brakes, installing studs and spacers, cleaning up the car and when I put the new wheels on, the lug nuts I was sent don't fit, so I miss the parade. That doesn't sound very unlucky per se, but please keep listening. Next I wanted to drive the Z in my first autox event, spend a full day preparing it, I buy a helmet, get the oils changed, replace the brake pads. Nothing goes wrong until the morning after. The Garmin GPS fell off the windshield, knocked the hazards light on all night. I wake up to drive to autox, the car's DEAD and I miss the registration. And again, tonight I was thinking about bringing it to a car show in Connecticut tomorrow. What happens this time? Someone put a garbage pail in my blindspot and I backed up without noticing it. Now my right side is all scratched up, so I obviously cannot bring it to show it off.
Is my car telling me something? It hasn't tried to kill me yet, it drives great, but I get the feeling there's more than meets the eye with this thing. What are your thoughts?

Luck has nothing to do with it. You made the error in ordering the wrong lug nuts before the parade. You didn't secure the Garmin properly and it fell off, activating the hazards and draining your battery. You didn't check around your Z before backing out, hit a garbage pail and scratched the paint. The only thing causing your bad luck is YOU.
Also, if you keep thinking your Z is cursed, YOU are the one to be more likely to continue making mistakes and causing this prophecy to come true. So YOU are the only one who can lift this so-called "curse"- take responsibility and get more skilled and smarter in the future. That's the kind of owner your Z deserves.

I don't actually believe in curses, but bad things just seem to happen around this car and I thought I should share this with others. The GPS thing reminds me of Final Destination.

I would have thought some people would get a kick out of this thread, but for most, you're all being too serious. **** happens. We need to laugh at it once in a while.

Man talk about bad luck maybe your car has a low self steam lol. I agree just because someone makes mistakes don't make them a idiot or stupid unless they keep making the same mistake over and over and never learn from it. That is why they say no one is perfect because we all make mistake's in life but as long as you learn from the mistakes you make in life your aok

OP, you are an idiot. You are careless and do not pay attention to what you are doing, which shows a lack of respect for your things and in most cases there is only one thing that causes that.

USUALLY when things like this happen it means that someone does not respect their car like they should. Usually when they do not respect their car means they did not purchase it themselves. Usually.

It's so easy to call someone else these things but when you make a mistake, or just have bad luck with your car, do you immediately call yourself an idiot and careless? Or do you automatically think you're better than me?

But yes, I do hold myself accountable for my actions.
You should too.

I ended up going to the show with the car anyway. The scratch was barely visible and since it rained the night before, a lot of people brought dirty cars so nobody cared about the scratch. I spent the night learning how I'm going to do the touch up myself and that I should really clay bar and wax it anyway to prevent weather from making it look worse. We all had a great day and I learned from my mistake. I really don't know what bugs are up some of your asses, you need to lighten up. Usually people that make fun of others do not enjoy life. Usually.
