Default My accident for this month

Just doing an update of my monthly accident report:

July - someone backs into my 944: dents the nose panel (heck, I wanted a 931 nose panel anyways).

August - Friday the 13th -- someone pulls out right in front of my 968. After two months of insurance work, the car is declared a total.

September - the transmission on my 944 decides to eat itself (gave me an excuse to finally replace with an LSD tranny). Not an accident, but still required a tow truck.

October - (one week ago) someone backs into the driver-side of my SilverRose 944 turbo while parked on the street.

*new* November - (this morning) someone backs into the passenger-side of my SilverRose 944 turbo from a driveway, while I was in the car -- ironically, on the way to the bodyshop.

Christ, what else can go wrong?

On the brightside, no accident on a motorcycle -- AND this means I should be accident-free until at least the first of December. So nice to get that out of the way early in the month....

Well, I've taken a couple of steps to mitigate my bad luck.

1 -- I'm going to stick to using my motorcycle as my daily driver. Obviously, I'm safer with just two wheels -- haven't been hit yet!

2 -- To appease the Porsche gods, I've sworn to name my first-born daughter "Porsche". With a name like that, she'll probably grow up to be a ****-star, but a man has got to get his priorities in order...
