Default First day and seven day of ownership not good.

Made post earlier about hit and run on front bumper/grill. I now received a nice new driver side front door completely pushed in.

First picture is day one of ownership had the car for about an hour and the next picture was the week anniversary. About two hours ago from now. Im not having good luck with the car. Also I now have a light on the dash saying (shift into p range) came on after the wreck.

(The ! LIGHT) Anyways after getting her fixed maybe I can go month with out anything happening. Im crossing my fingers.

On the bright side I got hit by a toyota.

I feel for you, seeing that damage hurts, I have such an attatchment to my car. Better luck driving in the future.

Regarding the '!' that won't go off, this car seems to be loaded w/sensors, very sensitive. Until that damage is fixed it's not going to go away

i never assume that other ppl know that i have the right of way, i drive very very defensively, let ppl go and only turn when i'm sure i am safe from others... i also park as far away as i can from stores, i am proactive in my... err... defense.

I thought I had bad luck with my car...

2 weeks old and I got hit in a parking lot. At least, mine wasn't a hit and run.

Totally sorry to hear about the mishaps.
