Question AF's curse???

Okay, I know that the G20 forum is convinced that there is a curse out to destroy their G20's *lol* But it is strangely true... Here's the premise:

You buy a {G20} and in looking for info, join AF. You hang around for a couple months (maybe 2 or 3) and *bang!!!!* you are hit!

Now, not all the {G20's} are totaled, but it's kinda almost creepy how there are so many people who have fairly serious damage to their {G20} not long after joining!

What I'm out to learn is whether or not any other forums have found this problem as well!

Well a month after joining AF my Ford Falcon was totalled and I curbed my 607's left front wheel, but I am the only owner of these cars, so I guess I'll never know.

Although I must say, this curse is putting me off buying a Primera after I hand my 607 back next year and I am out of a job

Hmm, so I might be interesting to see if it's a site wide curse. Very interesting.

Well, in the 3rd gen accord section, we have at least 6 or 7 totalled 3g's. It's crazy, there's like at least one that goes down every month.

I think its an omen - dont buy a G20! That'll teach you guys!

Sorry to hear about all the nice rides getting pranged out there. I have been fortuneate though. Since i joined AF over a month ago, I found my dream car

Right after Skylines Downunder forum left EZboard, and went to our own server, I crashed my GTS-t pretty hard.

So I say AF has been a god send for me

That is called a typical male driver with an SUV that is not invincible!
