Curse of Spurstalk forum

[SWC Bonfire]

In light of the recent traffic-related developments involving posters, I thought I'd post my little bit of morning excitement:

This morning, I was driving up I35 north of San Marcos. They are (slowly) scarifying the pavement and resurfacing the road with a hotmix overlay. I saw the change in finished pavent to scarified surface, and figured that they tapered the pavement down to the elevation of the old surface. Wrong.

I hit the bump so hard (at 70 mph, the posted speed limit) that it snapped the cable that held my spare tire. A 265/75R16 tire at 80 psi on a steel rim then bounced up & flew 50 feet in the air, landed in between a little red car and a white semi w/ a van trailer. They swerved to avoid it, it bounced up and landed on top of the semi trailer, bounced up and either hit the overpass, went completely over the overpass, or both, and landed in the ditch (luckily) on the other side of the bridge.

Luckily, no one was hurt or damaged their vehicle, other than my spare tire holder. My spare was still aired up and undamaged.

There is a curse on posters of Spurstalk.:lol

[SpursWoman]

Holy Crap! :wow :wow



I came home for lunch....maybe I shouldn't go back to work now... :angel :lol


I'm glad no one was hurt, or your spare. :)

[Kori Ellis]

There's been a lot of accidents in the last week for Spurstalk members (and their loved ones).

Everyone drive safely!

[Shelly]

Holy cow! Glad no one got hurt!

They say things happen in 3s, so hopefully you ended the curse!

Hmm.. I think there is one more.

[Shelly]

Dang! You're right!

[samikeyp]

I didn't get into an accident but my car broke down across the street from Kori's before Game 3. :wow

A pre-emptive strike!

[Shelly]

Lord...I just got a call from some ambulance chasing person 'offering' his services to collect money from the insurance company on our behalf.

"Larry Parker got me 2.1 million" Do they still run those ads in CA?

[samikeyp]

A pre-emptive strike!

:lol probably!

[Shelly]

And now someone just called offering to get us a free accident report.

Thank God for Caller ID and Voice Mail.

My truck will be ready tomorrow. $574.00 damage, with a $100.00 deductable.

So, did they give you a Focus to drive until then? :lol

[Duff McCartney]

Courtney wants to buy a truck, before she had a Kia. I was like damn you don't want to do that, with todays gas prices buying a truck is insanity. But if she wants it then that's fine with me. I also told her to buy a jeep to take to the beach and drop the top. But I think she's gonna go with a truck.

[Useruser666]

So, did they give you a Focus to drive until then? :lol

No, they gave me a Grand Pre!

[Useruser666]

Uh, Jeeps don't get great gas milage.

[Duff McCartney]

Uh, Jeeps don't get great gas milage.

I know...I didn't say that was the reason I wanted her to get it. But she'll end up getting a truck.

[SWC Bonfire]

Uh, Jeeps don't get great gas milage.

They also are death traps in a bad accident. Go with a mid or full-size car, they're enough people who drive trucks that don't have any scratches in the bed as it is already.

My new company truck is a crew cab 2005 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado with the 5.9L V8. It presently has 3100+/- miles and is getting 19-20 MPG with both highway and job site stop and go driving combined.

[SpursWoman]

Just great thats all I need now. Now the thing goes when you try to be more careful than usual is when something bad happens. We are all jinxed and cursed now! Fuckin Great!

I'd want her to get something that's about 30 MPG.

[Useruser666]

How about a Ford Carpool?

fuckers even took my home phone - couldn't even call the police :flipoff

:cuss :cuss :cuss :cuss :cuss

[Shelly]

Damn, that sucks! I hope you have Renter's insurance (if you're renting).

The police wouldn't have come. Your call would have taken them away from the donut shop!

[Useruser666]

Would it be politically correct to call them gay theives? :lol

Wouldn't it be funnier if they hooked up the whole home theatre system and forgot to check for a disc inside when they turned it on.

The sounds of gay sex coming through the speakers has to be funny.

I don't know how the little ledge-thingy at the bottom of the tub didn't cut it off :wow . Holy crap it still hurts.

Thank goodness I can wear flip flops to work. :)




Think that guy could sue HEB for me? :eyebrows :lol

[Shelly]

Jim Alder, The Smart, Tough Lawyer. He'll work for YOU!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

We have a company van for our runner to make deliveries and this morning we found it stripped down in the parking lot. The taillights were gone, the front blinkers, the rearview mirrors, the gas cap, the cheap ass stereo. . .the thief tried to hotwire it but obviously failed and so he decided to strip off whatever he could get!

I thought it was pretty funny myself, but my managing partner hit the roof when he saw it and was pissed I was taking it so lightly. Its fully insured, and I figured there are worse things to get worked up about.

We can add that to the list I guess.





Oh, and SW, sorry about the toe! OUCH!!

[MannyIsGod]

The curse of Spurstalk? For the second time in 9 months, I have managed to have a car blow an engine while I am at the wheel.

Yes, the curse of Spurstalk is alive and well.

serves you right, asshole. :lmao j/k


seriously though, mouse STILL has that bike out front...ready for pickup. :lol :tu

[SWC Bonfire]

You're supposed to use engine oil from time to time....:lol

[MannyIsGod]

Holy cow! On the car that you just got?
Yup, theres obviously a reason it was so cheap. :lol

But I'm getting my money back because the person who sold it to me is a good friend and they feel horrible about it.


BTW, it is not maintence related, I'm anal about cars. Ask Jess.

"Your oil is due"
"have you changed your oil"
"you need to change your oil"

[SWC Bonfire]

What makes and models of vehicles were they?

[Kori Ellis]

But I'm getting my money back because the person who sold it to me is a good friend and they feel horrible about it.

That's good at least. But what a hassle!

[Shelly]

That sucks, Manny!

[MannyIsGod]

The one that blew last October was a 2001 Ford Escort ZX2 with 60k on it. I changed the oil every 3k.

This one was a 92 Mercury Tracer (read: FORD ESCORT) with 140k miles on it. I'd had it for less than 500 miles but it got an oil change right before I took it.

This one is a bit more understandable, but it had the maintence done on it as well. I know the people I bought it from and they were the only owners.

I sore up and down that I would never own a Ford after my last car, but the offer on this one was too good (to be true) to pass up.

[SWC Bonfire]

What happened? Did the timing belt/chain break, or did it physically throw a rod or something?

[MannyIsGod]

The timing chain on this one blew, and I guess the engine is non interference and it really fucked up the valves.

On the first one, it threw a whole fucking rod through the front of the engine. It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen. I had heard of it happening on cars, but you don't know how fucked up it is untill you see your blown up engine right in front of you.

[SWC Bonfire]

should have bought a Suburban

made in a place i call America


:lol I was waiting for that...

:lol

I had an Escort when I was in high school:


SW: God, Dad....I HATE that car!
Dad: Well, it gets you from point A to point B......
SW: But then I have to get TOWED back to point A! The back wheels have waaaay more milage than the front ones....!
Dad: At least it's paid for...
SW: True, because the transmission isn't working right....
Dad: Aww, shit.


Rinse, repeat. :lol



That sucks, Manny....but at least who you bought it from is being decent about it.

[iminlakerland]

My brother had a Ford Taurus i think it was a 97, i have learned from his mistakes i will never ever EVER by a FORD

[mouse]

I just found a bag of weed inside my turntable. sorry but curses always seem to bring good things, I cursed the Spurs and look what they did.

[3rdCoast]

Are you watching Mandingo again tonight mouse?

[Chevy Tahoe]

should have bought a Suburban

Bikeboy will never learn!

[mouse]

Are you watching Mandingo again tonight mouse?

I can't, my Black and white TV is broken.

[3rdCoast]

You have a black and white tv?

I have been watching Risky Business tonight. It has been on the HBO channels lately.

[HB22inSA]

They say things happen in 3s, so hopefully you ended the curse!
My Mom told me that yesterday, as she's been to 2 funeral services in the last week.

I wonder who's next...

[ChumpDumper]

My rearview mirror is kind of loose.

Knock on wood -- my family has been through far too many serious car accidents.

I have to say, the original post sounds like something you'd see in a video game.

[Swishy McJackass]

I thought my mom was coming in to town this next weekend, but it turns out she's coming in tonight. So, I'm stuck at work while my wife is at home cleaning up the place. Needless to say, she's pissed.

Can I blame THIS on the curse?

[MannyIsGod]

Son of a bitch. The Curse lives on and is gaining strength.

Some asshole tried to make a right turn from a the lane to the left of Jessica this afternoon and hit her pretty hard.

Most importantly, she is fine, but a trip we were making to Houston is now cancelled and her car is not driveable.

I'm really starting to fear the curse.

[Spam]

Does anybody have a 2 seater bike?

Yikes! Glad she's okay!

[Kori Ellis]

Dang Manny, sorry about Jess (and her car). At least she's not hurt.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add...

While the cop was writing the police report, we were standing under an overhang on a building downtown. I hauled ass down there when she called me.

Well, as we're standing there, a piece of wood fell down and nailed me on the shoulder!!! WTF?!?!?!

[timvp]

That sucks. Do you guys have any mode of transportation now? Both of your cars went out in like a week's time.

Glad that Jessica is alright.

[MannyIsGod]

We both have our trusty Bus passes and Jess car will be fixed by the insurance soon. I think she could get a rental from them as well, but thats probably going to have to wait for a few days.

[Clandestino]

the insurance company should hook you up with a rental the same day if it is part of her insurance...

[MannyIsGod]

I'm aware of that. But to avoid raising rates we're going completely through the other drivers policy. If you make claims on your insurance, they will raise your rates whether or not you are at fault.

It is really no big deal either way. We're good at getting around on the bus.

The other driver's insurance should provide you with a rental car too.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes, they will, but they're going to drag their heels untill an adjuster determines their driver was at fault. The dude told the cop he was turning, so I don't think theres much of a debate.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Does the curse extend to family members?

I just got off the phone with my mom who was hit from behind this morning over by Westover Hills & Culebra.

She's alright for the most part, some ligament problems in her neck (so she's in a brace) and the car's kind of funky with the frame and maybe transmission.

[bigzak25]

sorry to hear that Joe. Hope you moms is alright/gets better quick.
