Just My Luck :(
Well first my 8 was backed into in my own apartments. It was a hit an run. I was on my way to work at 5.am went out to my car to see it was backed into. $4,000 in damages. New trunk, new bumper, new lights, new emblems, new spoiler, parts need to be painted and down time of my car.
But it gets better. Be for all that can be fixed. I was at a stop when a taxi comes flying by and takes out my front end... Life just keeps getting better by the minute.
The good news is its a new car so all the parts will be replaced with new ones and the car is not a total loss. And the amount of damage is not that bad to the engine bay.
However my car will be in the repair shop for over 2 months. They need to order the parts and paint from Mazda.
Then due to me not haveing a car I lost my job due to being late from taking the bus buming rides ect. Guess thats what happens when you work for a 4 diamond 4 star resort.
Life sucks then you die...

That is string of bad luck.
But as Mikeb said above, it could have been worse. Cars can be repaired or replaced. People can't. Think of how bad it would have been if you or someone you love were seriously hurt or killed by a careless driver rather than just your car. So being without your 8 sucks, but at least it's only temporary.
They say bad things come in three's. So you're in the clear now.
May you find an even better job and may your car be fixed ahead of schedule.
