So back when I was in high school my friends used to refer to me as 'the curse' because bad things tend to happen to cars I'm in. Not driving, just a passenger of.

Fast forward to today. On my want to a concert with some friends the subject came up and I mentioned it, thinking I was safe after about a year without incident. 3 hours later on the drive home the car broke down.

edit: I never really believed it until now...this was just wierd.

I've always considered myself to be pretty lucky. Only ever been in 2 accidents -- one of which was when I still had my learner's permitt and it was the other drivers fault (admittadly, I hit the gas instead of the break, but he shouldn't have been in my lane and I've never made that mistake again :p); the other accident was when my girlfriend was driving. we were stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic trying to get into Giant's Stadium for a concert. she inched up, as one does when they're stuck in traffic and it moves up a couple inches, and either forgot to brake or thought she had more room than she did. we bumped into the car in front of us... it was a little jolting, but no major damage was done except for some chipped paint (on her car; other driver's car was fine).
