:evil: this sucks..I hope Auroras are free of the curse...go figure my next car will be a white 2000+ SSEi :roll:

Actually there is scientific reasoning for this. White and Black cars are the colors that get into the most accidents. This is because they are both on the opposite ends of the color spectrum, and are not as visible to the human eye as other colors.

Gray is the worst...

Sol 11-07-2003 12:36 PM

I don't understand, my car is big as hell. If the other drivers don't see me, there is a problem with them.

Haven't you ever heard that size don't matter?!?!....... :shock:


:lol:

Sol 11-07-2003 12:39 PM

Heh yeah, I guess thats how it works on the road too.

Does for me...oh....wait.....

Tamara 11-07-2003 12:44 PM

Size does matter.

Just remember that it was a man who said it DOSN'T matter, and he wasn't thinking of women when he mentioned that. Because, when it comes to the size of a woman, it matters in every way shape and form :D

TrueWildMan 11-07-2003 12:46 PM

The ONE time I brought mine downtown one night, the scumbag valet parker banged the left rear corner into something in the parking garage. Managed to buff out the bumper later, so that the scuff and tiny tear don't really show, but I was pissed. I even did a walkaround when I picked up the car, but didn't discover it until the next day, 12 hours and 50 miles away from the scene of the crime. :-(

You mean like primer? That's not paint. Your supposed to put an actually color (like Blue) on top of that. :lol:


And BigAl. Those pics and that story look and sound pretty nasty. Another Bonne protecting her driver. You gonna fix it, or are they gonna total it?

Actually grey/silver are VERY hard to pick out. They get hit the most in intersections where the driver "didn't see the car" etc...

BonneMan95SE 11-08-2003 05:41 AM

I have a white SLE packaged 95 bonneville. The previous owner had a deer ram it (yes thats right, the deer ramed the front of the car while it was parked, not the other way around). Otherwise everythings almost as super as a souped up supra. I saw a green ssei bonne the other day, flipped over with the roof half caved in. So I now state a new myth: the curse of the green bonneville

ssesc93 11-08-2003 08:37 AM

I don't believe in this. I don't care what color a car can be, accidents happen. My 97 was black and before the end of its life (supposevley) it was hit 5 times. My mirror on the passenger side was the first blow, then a car bags into my hood, my driver side mirror was hit, then someone tried to break into it. This was a black car. SHI- HAPPENS!!!!!!!!

ssesc93 11-08-2003 08:43 AM

Ahhhhhh the memories.......................................... .........

I call it the Curse becausethe majority of the white Bonnevilles that have been damaged have not been the fault of their drivers, but inflicted by someone elses carelessness

Feel free to confirm or deny that fact :wink:


umm, not to harp, but there is no c in my name...
Fixed...sorry about that :oops:

As you can see, I was kinda touchy, not only because my car is white, but because I don't want to leave the house and get in an accident because of me having a white car. I do have to go somewhere in 45 min and trying to meet up with the rest of the members today and the last thing I need today is be involved in an accident and show up to a meet with a banged up ride :lol: :lol:
