Sorry for the late response edub, over 20k FI miles. I'm currently standing around 42k miles. The car is cursed at 40k miles. What happened to my car the past 2 weeks?
  • Drove past a neighborhood when a golf ball bounced out and hit my hood.
  • Got egged.
  • Same night I got egged the battery quit. Corrected loose ground cable and battery still wouldn't hold a charge. Got stranded again.

Not related to my car, but within the past week I went in for an emergency dental visit after chipping my molar from biting into a sausage patty. It's difficult to enjoy a cold one now.

I'm 31 in a few weeks, so hopefully being in the 30s isn't cursed either.

I was at a party on the east side near Cypress and Pawnee. Looks like a "driveby" egging from the smearing direction and some missed hits indicated by eggs on the ground. Hit the driver side door with yolk dripping and collecting on my CF side skirts. I was pretty much washing my car around 3AM before driving home.

When I had the 350Z, the same thing happened when I was at a different party close to that area. I think it was Linden street.

Other than that, I don't recall issues anywhere else.

09 with 18,500 here...

But I live a whopping 5mi from my office, and my wife works at the same building, so I drive maybe half the time.

On the weekends, my car only comes out of the garage if its raining and can't ride my bike.

Mine is 2009 with 10,000 miles and is not because I babied it. I do take care of the car. But I have three more cars in my house, I wish I could drivre it more. However it has been 3 times ZdayZ and survived the Dragon!

So the Z is in the garage and a pain to pull out with the car in the garage and a single driveway, plus a damn cul de sac(minimum parking).

I have a 2011 with 15k miles, garaged at all times except for when I drive her. Is that a problem for anyone else?
