Jinxed!
 
When I was younger I was always superstitious about the number "13" then one day I grew out of it and didn't let it bother me anymore until I went and bought A Porsche Boxster with no.13 on the license plate and some seriously spooky things have happened since then and in such a short time to the point family & friends and are telling me I am Jinxed or I'm not having much luck with the car.

Here are some of the things that have happened...

Two days after buying it a guy crashes into me.
While it's at the repair shop they put the wrong paint on it.
The Alarm going off by it's self in the middle of the night.
And then yesterday a cracked rim which led to a terrifying blown out tire on a motorway.

You know...some guys have all the luck. Living down under could be the problem...magnetic pole creating unknown havoc on Boxster owners. Every think why you had to have it. But, you should be fine now, your past the the three thing. My alarm does the same thing and it is usually caused by a low battery, and you can disconnected it if you wish. Enjoy.:cheers:

I am not a superstitious person but because of you I have started being that today about the number 13! Perhaps you can buy another licence plate and change your luck.

Things like this usually happen in groups of three. You're already at four so your karma should be on the up-swing!

It's unlucky to be superstitious.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thankswishes you all the best

Just a thought….don't they offer custom plates down under?

The mere thought of it being in your subconscious may bring your worst fears into fruition. After all, what the mind believes will turn into REALITY!

I had the same feeling about Ford-made cars. Every time I drove one I seemed to be in an accident. Now I stay away from them. Of course, it could be Fords have bad brakes, poor steering and they fall apart!

So…trust your gut, or in this case…your BUTT! :p

Don't think of it as 13, but rather as 1 and 3 hanging out together ;)

Both my Mom and Sister were born on Friday the 13th thus I always liked the number!!

More,

Good thing you didn't buy the Box last year when it was 13 years old...

In the movie "The world according to Garp," an airplane crashes into a house Robin Williams is looking to purchase, and he says, "I'll take it."
He figured that would never happen again.

So, maybe you got all your bad luck out of the way this year.
