Talk about BAD LUCK...

A few weeks ago, I was speaking with my cousin Joey regarding his string of bad luck with automobiles in 2007. I did a little research, and found the actual story (including pictures). I'll link it here so you can read it and see the pictures...

Story

Now, if that's not shocking, there's more...

Two weeks after that crash, he and his wife took the insurance money and bought her a brand new car. He lives in an area of Norman where a lot of college kids are starting to rent houses. Across from him is one of those houses. After purchasing the car, he was sitting in his hot tub that night when he heard one of those Ninja motorcycles going up and down the street. His neighbors were having a party. Before he could call the police, they had moved it inside so he let it be...

Around 1 AM he heard that Ninja going up and down the street again. He called the cops and told them to shut the party down. Well, a few minutes later he heard that Ninja "skipping." The driver had lost control, and then it smashed into the back of his wife's new car. It nearly killed the driver. An ambulance was called, and then the entire party came outside to see what was going on.

If that wasn't bad enough, it gets worse. While the paramedics were working on the kid, a car decided to go around the baracades. In so doing, the driver almost hit the crew working on the kid... not to mention the kid. When the police tried to stop the driver, he pulled out a knife... which caused them to draw their guns on him!

After a few minutes, they were able to get him out of the car. Turns out the guy was higher than a kite, and they discovered he was driving a mobile meth lab! So now they had another crime scene to block off... and they had to bring in the HazMat Team!

Well, Joey told me that every story has a silver lining...

A few months later, he knew he had to buy a new car for his stepdaughter. She's a senior at Southeastern Oklahoma in Durant. He said she's smart as a whip, but a terrible driver. He thought about how the driver that crashed into his house walked away from the wreck. Therefore, he bought her a Honda Civic.

Not long after she had the car, she was coming home from college when a truck ran her off the road. She slammed into a highway bridge going 70 MPH! Guess what? She walked away... he said had she been driving her other car, she wouldn't be here today.

What a year... let's hope Joey and his family have better luck in 2008!
