Ok I have one. I am driving one of our company pick ups to make a delivery and some a$$hole decides to make a left turn one car ahead of me at the last minute. I hit the little Mazda pick up thats in front of me at 40 mph and push him 20ft into the Chevy cavlier trying to make the left turn and total both of them. The only thing that saved the truck I was driving was the fact that it had a plow carriage on it. Then the really sucky thing was to call dad and tell him I had been in an accident with a company truck and deal with my coworkers the next day.

I have a pretty bad storie that just happened resently. I live in Arizona and my family and I was taking my truck the the Holiday Bowl in San Diego and the morning we were going to leave the window in my truck wont roll up. So I tried to get it fixed and the mechanic trying also noticed I have a nail in my brand new Toyo A/Ts. So we ended up missing the game and wasting the tickets.

I know im not an 04 or up but here goes. I was rushing to a fire and when i pulled into the station I forgot to roll my window up. Well it was a pretty bad fire that totaled the house but halfway through it started to pour and I almost **** myself because i remembered i left my window open. So I called the station and asked if they could put a tarp over the window for me. I also had PSAT's in the morning might I add. Well the guy busted my ***** about it but he did it for me. I left the scene early to go home, this was about 1 am by now. When I get back to the station there was a tarp over it and because I was parked under a tree the seat didn't get wet it was just the inside of the door. I was so relieved. Even better is when I got home my mom said I dont have to take the test in the morning because i already took it and it wasn't necessary so it turned out pretty good.

Oh here's a much better suck story.

I'm sick sitting on the john sick, and my body decides that stuff coming out both ends at the same time would be fun. Of course my mind is doing the "Oh Crap, Oh Crap, WTF do I do now!?!?!" Split second descions with 103 fevers and pulsing headaches makes a person do rash things. Through the cloud I spotted a trash can around the corner in front of the shower. Thing was, it's normally in my office. The dog must of knocked it over and rolled it in there.

OK how about this Suck....

Mothers day 07' (Sunday) My wife and I drive to Pittsburg, PA (from Winchester, VA +- 3hrs one way) to have brunch with her brother and parents. I get off the PA turnpike at the pittsburg exit doing about 80mph and the lower caliper bolt on my front passenger side decides to come out. Not knowing what happened i keep going, not needing to hit the brakes again until i was about 100yds in front of the Squirrel Hill tunnel in bumber to bumber traffic in the left lane with my front tire locked up with the caliper pinned against the rim. Long story short, we got to lunch at about 12:30 and had the truck towed to pepboys for the 10 min. fix i could have done myself since the bolt was still there.

this sucks

here we go, so i bought my 2004 f-150 with 18,489 mi from a dealer in feburary 2007 and they gave me three free oil changes. so ive been driving it daily and brought it for an oil change every 3 months whether i had the mileage or not. the first two oil changes were smooth, but i dropped it off for the third and about half an hour later i get a phone call saying that they did the oil change but that they found other fram damage while doing the oil change to come to the dealership. i went to the dealer and tried to bring it to a friend of the family who owns a body shop but it was undrivable. so i called the guy from the body shop and got him to tow it to his shop. he looked at it and said that they dropped it off of a lift and the crossmember was bent the oil pan was cracked and the lower control arm was bent, needless to say they denied and i had no hard proof except for the opinion of three body shops. so i ended up paying $2000 bucks for a free oil change.lol two weeks later another truck fell off the same lift with the same oil change mechanic but caused massive body damage, kind of hard to deny and dealer fired the oil change mechanic but no restitution for me.
