anyone else going through a bad vehicle (or other) stretch?

In the process of paying $3K for the pleasure of owning/racing a $0.8K vintage race bike.

I go through periods like that in my life Todd. Seems like I always just have to nut it up and take it on the chin... Time always seems to get me out of the "bad cycle" and things start evening out.... That which does not kill you makes you stronger...

It all started when I bought the M3

1. 1995 M3, with me driving hits some big hunk of metal on the highway at 85mph, $1000 damage, I do all the work, new bumper, new rad, new condensor, new AC pump (while I amin there) new aux fan, new clutch fan, new thermostat housing, driving lights, ....

2. 2001 Dodge Ram, while picking up the M3 the hitch on the trailer does ont latch correctly, so when loading the car, the trailer pops off the hitch and puts a nice dent and scrape in the tailgate of my truck

3. 1988 Carrera, wife misjudges an exit and spins if off the road, full 360, pops two wheels off the rims, scratches the pain on barb wire, hits a trailer with the front bumper and shifts it about 1.5 inches, ripping the bumper shocks off the nose.

4. 2001 Dodge Ram, wife's truck runs out of diesel, cost $300 at Dodge to get the "diagnose" what we told themwas the problem, and then prime the pump.

5. 1995 M3 gets broadside by a transport trunk moving about 5 mph, insurance (finnally) paided for repairs, new bumper (again) new fender, new door, new quarter

6. Toyo Cup 911, racing a friends car in an enduro, motor blows out a rod bolt with me behind the wheel, punches a hole in the case.

7. 2001 Dodge Ram wifes truck takes a stone in the windshield, big crack, replace windshield

8. 1988 Carrera, wife rearends a new VW bug, $9K damage, new fenders, hood, bumper, replace the nose, new lights, etc.....

all this in about 6 months,

Jim
